NACOLE offers a Certified Practitioner of Oversight (CPO) Credential through its annual conferences. This program recognizes oversight practitioners who have achieved a high level of professional oversight training and encourages employers and oversight agencies to financially support and encourage participation in these voluntary training programs. To earn the CPO Credential, a person must participate in designated training sessions at three qualifying conferences in a five-year period, and satisfy supplemental reading requirements. The 2008 NACOLE Conference was the first qualifying conference for this program.

The Credential is valid for five years from the date of the first qualifying conference. Applications for the CPO Credential may be made at the time of conference registration or at any time during the conference by completing the application form. NACOLE continues to offer its Training Certificate Program, initiated in 2008, recognizing participation in conference training. Conferees who attend a minimum of three sessions designated as “Training Sessions” and two additional conference sessions of their choice will be awarded a Certificate of Training. Conferees may make application at the time of conference registration or at any time during the conference by completing the application form.

There is no additional fee for these programs. However, to participate, you must be a member of NACOLE.
