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

  1. A candidate submits a CSP application and is denied. What is typically the earliest they can reapply?

    Answer: After one year

    Denied applicants are generally required to wait one year before resubmitting a CSP application to allow time to address deficiencies.

  2. What does the Global Speaking Fellow (GSF) designation require beyond the CSP?

    Answer: Speaking engagements in multiple countries beyond the candidate's home nation

    The Global Speaking Fellow designation, administered by the Global Speakers Federation, requires significant professional speaking activity across multiple international markets.

  3. Which of the following best describes NSA's approach to evaluating demo or video submissions in the CSP application?

    Answer: Videos are typically not required as part of the CSP application

    Unlike some certifications, the CSP process centers on documented professional activity rather than a performance-based video audition.

  4. Which professional body shares mutual recognition of the CSP designation internationally through the Global Speakers Federation?

    Answer: Professional Speakers Association UK

    The Professional Speakers Association (PSA) in the UK and other GSF member associations recognize the CSP through international reciprocity agreements.

  5. How many client testimonial letters are typically required as part of a standard CSP application?

    Answer: At least five from recent clients

    CSP applications typically require at least five testimonial letters from clients within the qualifying period to attest to the speaker's professionalism.

  6. What is the primary purpose of the NSA chapter affiliation requirement in the CSP process?

    Answer: To connect the candidate with a professional community and facilitate peer review

    Chapter affiliation connects candidates to a professional network, supports mentoring, and allows for community-level peer evaluation of the candidate's standing.

  7. A speaker earns income primarily from speaking coaching and consulting, not from platform speaking engagements. How does this affect their CSP eligibility?

    Answer: Platform speaking engagements must constitute the documented income; coaching alone does not qualify

    The CSP requires documented income and engagements specifically from professional platform speaking, not from adjacent activities like coaching or consulting.
