Keeping The A.D.F Certification
In order to maintain your A.D.F certification, you will be required to complete 8 hours of continued education in diversity or CED points each year. These hours will be pro-rated, depending on when you received your certification. CED programs will be provided by DDRIOC throughout each year. 1 CED point is equivalent to 1 hour of training. You will be required to keep records of the courses you attended and hours accumulated and submit this to DDRIOC on December 31st, of each year. Failure to do so may mean that you no longer hold the A.D.F certification.
