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.
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.
