CRL Recertification
Don’t let your Certified Reliability Leader® certification expire!
At the Association of Asset Management Professionals (AMP), we want you to renew your certification so you can take advantage of the latest technologies in Reliability, Asset Management and industrial maintenance. Learn about the recertification process here.
Starting your CRL Recertification process
Sustain your Certified Reliability Leader (CRL)® status by recertifying before your expiration date. Recertification is a straightforward process: you can take the CRL Certification exam or complete 30 CEU hours.
As a professional, maintaining this certification validates your ability to implement strategies for safe and profitable operations. It serves as a guarantee of quality and high qualification for organizations that employ maintenance and asset management professionals.
Your Certified Reliability Leader® is valid for three years.
Starting one year in advance, and continuing quarterly thereafter, we will reach out to certified leaders to invite them to start the recertification process. Maintaining updated contact information will facilitate the extension of the invitation to recertify.
Once you recertify, your certification will be good for another three years from the original certification date. If you need an extension please email crm@assetmanagementprofessionals.org to request an extension up to 3 months. If you have not requested the extension, you will have to retake the CRL exam to keep your certification.
Extension Request
An applicant may request an extension for extenuating circumstance. An extension may be granted for up to three months beyond the expiration date. The following information must be submitted in writing before the expiration date (email is acceptable):
- A statement of extenuating circumstance
- Number of recertification hours/credits to date
- A detailed plan stating how requirements will be met by extension deadline
AMP reserves the right to modify or deny the extension. If the extension is granted, the original expiration date is still valid. During the extension period the applicant is no longer certified and cannot claim to be nor use the credential. Once the recertification requirements have been fulfilled and recertification has been approved, the original expiration date will be reinstated, and the certification will be valid for another three (3) year certification period.
If you need an extension of your current certification, please email crm@assetmanagementprofessionals.org

Recertification Auditing information
Auditing Process
The recertification process is conducted on an honor system of reporting. To maintain the integrity of this program, AMP will randomly select applicants to be audited. The audit process requires applicants to further verify the claims that have been submitted for re-certification. If audited, applicants will be requested to submit additional documentation within 60 days. Failure to provide documentation will result in recertification being denied.
Once additional documentation is received, it will be reviewed. If it does not fulfill the requirement standards or is not received within the time frame specified, the applicant will be notified and provided a second opportunity with a 30-day deadline to comply.
Appeals Process
An applicant who disagrees with a ruling regarding their recertification outcome may ask for a review. This request must take place within 30 days of the initial ruling and the request must be made in writing (email is acceptable) including the reasons for requesting the appeal – being sure to state the reason for the disagreement.
Extension Request
An applicant may request an extension for extenuating circumstances. An extension may be granted for up to three months beyond the expiration date. The following information must be submitted before the expiration date in writing. (email crm@assetmanagementprofessionals.org):
- A statement of extenuating circumstance
- Number of recertification hours/credits to date
- A detailed plan stating how requirements will be met by extension deadline
