The initial certification period is for five
(5) years, after which a certificant is required
to recertify.
Periodic examination
is necessary to ensure that certificants’ knowledge of
industry standards, equipment, and safety practices
keeps pace with changes in these areas. NCCCO’s
subject matter experts, working in conjunction
with psychometric consultants, reviewed the speed
of such change in the industry and researched
other comparable certification/licensing programs
before determining that this goal could be achieved
by setting the examination interval at five years;
little, if any, additional benefit, it is believed,
would accrue by more frequent testing.
Each certification program has its own recertification requirements, please see the candidate handbookfor the programs in which you seek recertification to find out about requirements.
