Recertification points are earned from the beginning of certificants’ recertification cycles through the cycle end date of June 30. The recertification worksheet, accounting for points earned during that time period, is to be submitted by July 31 following the recertification cycle’s June 30 end date. Points earned in the July 1-31 time period after the cycle end date are applied to the following recertification cycle, which begins July 1 and runs five years until the certification’s next June 30 recertification cycle end date.
Full details on the process of recertification can be found on the
Recertification web page.
Subscribers will have a total of three (3) attempts to pass each individual course. After a third attempt, or first successful attempt, the course will no longer be accessible. You must pass with 80% or higher to achieve the applicable points.
