Consolidation of Recertification Dates
One Date for All
Have you ever been challenged by the process of maintaining multiple certification renewals that fall on different dates? Then you will appreciate this process simplification. Beginning on January 18, 2008, all recertification renewal dates are consolidated into a single date.
What do you need to do? NOTHING! When you submit your next certification renewal, your certification will be assigned its next three-year renewal date. If you have more than one certification, these recertification dates will be reassigned automatically to match. You will still submit Recertification Units (RUs) and a fee, as usual.
Example
Joe has the 3 certifications in the table below. He completes a Recertification Form and pays one recertification fee to renew his BCT certification.
