Applying for the Certified Workforce Development Professional® (CWDP) credential just got easier. As of June 1, 2026, a refreshed application process on the NAWDP website means one form, one place, and a more seamless experience from application to certification because we know your time is valuable.
Whether you are applying for the first time or seeking recertification, you can now find everything you need in one place at nawdp.org. Review the full process for CWDP Certification or CWDP Recertification to get started.
What’s Changed?
The biggest change? Everything is now in one step. Previously, submitting your application meant completing an application form, separately uploading supporting documentation, and then making payment. Now, all three happen together, making the process faster and far less cumbersome.
Already Applied? You’re All Set.
If you have already submitted an application for CWDP certification or recertification, there is nothing more you need to do. Your application will continue through the normal review process, no reapplication required.
