Welcome to the PACE online application! To retain the valued CCM® credential, board-certified case managers must earn 80 hours in continuing education every five years, or re-take the challenging CCM exam. PACE is a simple, streamlined path for organizations to quickly reach case managers with pre-approved workshops, webinars, and continuing education coursework. Please refer to our PACE Guide for complete information about PACE, including details about the requirements & instructions on submitting a PACE application. Review our PACE Brochure, which highlights the benefits of pre-approval.
PACE Application Updates Coming Soon!
We heard you! As part of the Commission's continuing efforts to provide value-added continuing education content that is easy for our certificants to access, we have recently reviewed the PACE application for providers based on feedback from you. We determined that there were some sections that required revisions to ensure that the language used and questions asked have more clarity and provide a better user experience for our certificants. The revisions will ensure a smoother application process from start to finish.
For more details that includes screenshots of the application updates, click here. There is also a webinar tutorial available that goes over the application process with step-by-step instructions that you can watch here.
