Diplomate and Fellowship status is granted on an annual basis. Once your credentials have been initially granted by The American Institute of Stress Certification Committee (ACC), you will only be required to submit your renewal fee each year to maintain your credentials. If your membership has lapsed for more than five years, you will be required to resubmit an application.

Upon notification of the status of your application, you will receive a link to submit your annual dues. Your AIS certificate and credentials will be issued after payment is received.
