CICP Membership Reinstatement Policy
Casting Instructor Certification Program members are all individuals who have successfully passed any of the single or two hand instructor examinations offered through CICP and Fly Fishers International (FFI). To maintain membership, yearly FFI member dues and CICP member dues must be kept current. Members are listed on the FFI website Casting section under "Find a Certified Instructor" and receive a Certified Instructor badge. When dues are not kept current, the listing is removed. The Casting Board of Governors revised the lapsed membership policy in 2023 to replace any previous one in this regard. It was adopted in December 2024 by the Fly Casting Education Program and its Casting Instructor Certification Program.
- Former CICP members wishing to renew lapsed memberships will pay the full year's dues for the year in which they are renewing and then keep dues payments current thereafter. It will be helpful if renewing members supply a photo of their certificate or the month and year of original certification.
- Those renewing lapsed memberships are strongly encouraged to contact a single or two hand MCI (or both if needed) to refresh casting and teaching skills relative to present exam expectations. Validated examiners are most familiar with current exam expectations. Current certification exams may be found here: Become a Certified Instructor
