PSC Renewal Requirements

Professional Service Coordinators are required to renew their PSC designation. The PSC Renewal Program requires that PSCs participate in professional development activities and submit evidence of these activities periodically. Promptly meeting these requirements is mandatory to maintain the PSC designation. To retain PSC designations, AASC requires all PSCs to renew every three years by accumulating 36 hours of continuing education. The PSC Renewal is offered to ensure that Professional Service Coordinators maintain the highest professional standards and enhance their continued competence. The cost of renewal is $75.00 and is accomplished by submitting documentation to AASC. Follow this link to submit your PSC Renewal Application.

Not meeting the requirements of the PSC Renewal Program results in an expiration of the PSC designation. However, reinstatement may be requested with documentation of 36 hours of continuing education submitted. The Reinstatement Fee (in addition to the Renewal Fee) is as follows: $25.00 if the application is 0-6 months late; $50.00 if the application is 7-12 months late; and $75.00 if the application is 13-17 months late; for 18 or more months, contact AASC.  For questions regarding PSC Renewal, please contact the AASC Staff at (614) 848-5958 or info@servicecoordinator.org.
