    The names of Credentialed Employment Support Professional™ certified individuals and their credential status are not considered confidential and may be published by the ESPCC and/or APSE.

    APSE maintains a database of all active applicants and CESP™ credential holders, and publishes a list of individuals who have earned the Credentialed Employment Support Professional™ credential on the APSE website. Information published may include: the credential holder’s name, credential issue date, expiration date, city, state, and country. Credential holders can opt out and make their information private through the digital badging software.

    Credentialing status for any individual (including name and current credential status) may be verified by emailing cesp@apse.org. Application status, information about whether an individual has taken the exam, and score information will not be released without the express consent of the candidate/credential holder.
