Each CIMA and CIMC certificant is responsible for submitting CE documentation for both IMCA-sponsored and non-IMCA sponsored events. Documentation must be mailed or faxed to the address below. Please keep a copy of all items submitted.

IMCA
Attn: Recertification Department
5619 DTC Parkway, Suite 500

To Report IMCA-Sponsored CE

• Complete and submit the CE form that is provided at IMCA events. CE forms from specific conferences may be requested from the Recertification Department at IMCA by calling 303.770.3377 or via e-mail.
• CE records will automatically be updated by IMCA for participation in IMCA audio broadcasts, and therefore you do not need to report these hours.

To Report Non-IMCA-Sponsored CE
(If any of this required information is missing, your application will not be processed.)

• Download and print out the Non-IMCA Continuing Education Hours Submittal Form. Complete and submit the application along with proof of attendance and a detailed agenda showing times, topics, and brief descriptions of each session for which you are claiming credit.
• To report teaching/speaking events, include documentation of the actual time spent teaching or speaking before a class or audience (credit is only awarded for a class or speaking engagement once).
• To report published articles, submit a copy of the published articles including documentation of the amount of time spent researching and writing.

It is important to note that IMCA grants CE credit for non-IMCA-sponsored educational sessions in one-hour-minimum increments. IMCA classifies “one hour” sessions as those lasting no fewer than 50 minutes. All non-IMCA-sponsored sessions submitted for CE credit must be a minimum of 50 minutes in order to qualify for one hour of CE credit. Therefore, any submissions of education sessions (whether stand-alone or part of a program agenda) lasting fewer than 50 minutes do not qualify for CE.
