Read the first 7 Requirements and Process of Accreditation flashcards as text

  1. A speaker has completed 100 paid engagements but all within two years. Are they eligible to apply for the CSP?

    Answer: No, the engagements must span at least a five-year window

    CSP requires that the 100 paid engagements be documented over a qualifying five-year period, not compressed into fewer years.

  2. What income threshold must CSP applicants typically demonstrate from professional speaking within the qualifying period?

    Answer: $100,000 total

    CSP candidates must demonstrate at least $100,000 in speaking income earned from paid engagements during the qualifying five-year period.

  3. Which of the following speaking scenarios would most likely NOT count toward CSP engagement requirements?

    Answer: A workshop compensated with a product gift card only

    Compensation must be monetary; non-monetary compensation such as product gift cards generally does not qualify as a paid speaking engagement.

  4. What is the purpose of the 'recertification' requirement for existing CSP holders?

    Answer: To ensure ongoing professional activity and continued standards compliance

    Recertification ensures that CSP holders remain actively engaged as professional speakers and continue to meet NSA's evolving professional standards.

  5. How are speaking engagements for association chapters or non-profit organizations treated in CSP applications?

    Answer: They count if a professional fee was paid

    Engagements for associations or non-profits can count toward the CSP requirement if the speaker received a legitimate professional fee for the engagement.

  6. When a CSP applicant lists speaking engagements from international events, how are those typically handled?

    Answer: They are counted if they meet the same standards as domestic engagements

    International engagements are evaluated using the same professional fee and documentation standards as domestic engagements.

  7. Which section of a CSP application typically requires the most detailed documentation from the applicant?

    Answer: Speaking engagement log with proof of payment

    The speaking engagement log with corresponding payment documentation is the core evidentiary section and requires the most detailed records.
