Certified Sports Field Managers are now able to update their Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Industry Service Points (ISPs) with a few mouse clicks! CSFMs can go on-line and provide information about the CEUs and ISPs that they have attained by logging into the STMA web site. On each certified members’ home page, the link: Report/Review recertification points appears. Click on the link and from there you can easily report any new activities. These will stay in a pending file until reviewed by STMA headquarters, and you may be asked for supplemental documentation. You can even print a report to review your points and document your progress. You will also be able to pay your certification renewal fees on-line. A reminder of when the fee is due will appear on each CSFM’s home page.
The STMA certification program was founded in 2000. To date 100 members have attained certification. To become certified, a combination of formal education and experience is required (click here for the requirements) and to maintain certification, three CEUs and 9 ISPs must be earned in a three-year period. No more than one half of the CEUs can be earned in any one year. For any questions about the new online reporting or the Certification program in general, please contact Leah Craig at 800-323-3875 or by email at LCraig@STMA.org.
