How often must the National Certified Guardian designation be renewed?

The National Certified Guardian designation must be renewed every two years. This requirement ensures that guardians maintain their qualifications and stay updated on best practices, legal changes, and ethical standards in guardianship. The renewal process typically includes continuing education requirements which help guardians expand their knowledge and enhance their skills, ultimately benefiting the individuals under their care. By mandating this renewal period, the National Guardianship Association emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development in the field of guardianship, ensuring that guardians are well-equipped to handle their responsibilities effectively.
