CDP Experiences?

Hello, I am growing my experience in LTC further into caring for clients with dementia. I have an opportunity to pursue CDP (certified dementia practioner). Anyone else here with experience in that capacity.

CDP training information

Thanks!

    The CDP certification is in itself not a profession rather it is a compliment to the professional credentials and training you already have obtained in your chosen profession and your choice to work with the geriatric profession.

    Notice: While certification promotes and maintains quality, it does not license, confer a right or privilege upon or otherwise define the qualifications of anyone in the healthcare field.

    The certification is not listed on the nurse.org certification and credentials list that I can find. Also concerning is that it seems you have to renew this certification every 2 years? Plus it literally says on their own site you aren't practicing anything you couldn't already do. It's deceptive to for it to have certified and practitioner in the title.

    Seems fine if you want some CEUs and education but them calling it a certification that you can put after your RN title seems like a stretch...
