NICE Recertification

The initial National Intervener Certification E-Portfolio (NICE) Certification is valid for five years. After five years, an intervener must apply for recertification, which is valid for the next five years. The Paraprofessional Resource and Research Center (PAR2A Center) in consultation with national experts in the field of Deaf-Blindness have developed recertification requirements. To be recertified, interveners must demonstrate continued knowledge, skill, and service development by submitting documentation of their achievements in each of the following areas since their initial certification or last recertification:

1. Professional Commitment
2. Continuing Education
3. Leadership and Service

Recertification can be submitted no earlier than 90 days of the fifth anniversary of your certification to allow for processing. Read all the instructions carefully before beginning the submission process.
