What it costs
Issuer fees change yearly. LifeSafetyWiki never republishes a fee we can’t verify against the source — when in doubt, the issuer’s portal is the source of truth.
ASP annual CM fee — verify current amount at my.bcsp.org before paying.
Many ASP holders skip recertification by sitting for the CSP exam during their cycle — confirm your path with BCSP.
