Alliance Endorsement Renewal Changes
Check out what's New: https://www.allianceaimh.org/endorsement-renewal
-
Documentation: Starting December 2024, VAIMH's endorsed professionals are no longer required to enter training and RSC experience in EASy for annual renewal. (This option remains available for those who prefer this form of documentation tracking.)
-
Audit: Beginning with the 2027 Endorsement renewal, a percentage of endorsees will be randomly selected for audits each renewal cycle. Those selected will be required to provide records in EASy to demonstrate compliance.
-
Flexibility: In moving to a 3-year renewal cycle, there is flexibility in meeting the same total required hours over three years, which takes into account maternity leave, medical leave, job transfers, and other life events.
-
Amended Requirements: In December 2027, endorsees will attest to receiving 45 hours of training and 36 hours of RS/C (if applicable) between Jan. 1, 2025-Dec. 31, 2027.
Note: These hours will be prorated for applicants earning Endorsement in the "in-between" years.
-
Fee: VAIMH's annual Endorsement Renewal fee has remained steady at $40 each year. In moving to a 3-year renewal cycle, our adjusted renewal fee in 2027 (and each renewal thereafter) will be $75.00 (a savings of $45 over the 3-year period).
Note: While documentation in EASy will no longer be a renewal requirement, we do recommend ongoing organization of your training and RS/C renewal hours for possible auditing purposes. (Click on the template below for an example.)
