The annual cost to maintain the CUSP credential is $130. CUSP'S are invoiced 60 days prior to the due date.  Failure to pay the annual dues will result in the revocation of the CUSP designation.  

In addition to the annual fee there is a requirement of continuing professional development.  A point system has been developed to track professional development hours for the CUSP. Download and review the CUSP Maintenance Guidelines.  Submit a CUSP Points Request Form for all point submissions and include proof of participation.

CUSP GREEN – Utility safety professionals and managers are required to earn 40 points over a two year time period.   

CUSP BLUE – Utility safety leaders on the frontline are required to earn 30 points over a two year period.
