Recertification
Requirements
Frequency
of Re-certification
The certification period for all levels is five
years. An individual will be informed, by way of a letter mailed
to the technician’s last address of record, when the certification
period is nearing the expiration date. It is the responsibility
of the individual to keep the Technician Certification Board advised
of the current address. The individual is responsible for replying
to Clemson University and attending the re-certification course
and passing the written exam as outlined in the Tests and Retest
section of chapter 8.
Beginning June 1, 2005, the SCDOT Technician
Certification Board hereby requests that the certification expiration
dates for recertifications obtained within one year prior to the
technician's original date of expiration be issued based on the
original expiration date. For example, if a technician's
certification expires April 2006, and that technician passes a
recertification exam in April 2005, his/her certification will
be extended five years from the original April 2006 date to April
2011. However, if that technician chooses to attend the recertification
class in March 2005, and passes the exam, the recertification
will be valid from March 2005 to March 2010 (because the technician
passed the exam outside of the one-year window. If that technician
does not obtain the recertification before April 2006, then his/her
certification expires on that date.
Re-certification
Requirements
To become re-certified in any of the four levels,
the participant must attend a two (2) to three (3) day class and
pass a written exam. This class will contain a general overview,
a review of all specification changes, and any procedural changes
that may have occurred. Demonstration of competency to perform
the duties required at any level may be required. Re-certification
is required on any level of which an individual has the potential
to be performing those required tasks.
ATTENTION
COURSE ATTENDEES:
At the start of each course,
all course attendees will be asked to read and sign the following
form called
"Application for SCDOT
Technician Certification" If
you answer "yes" to Question #2 on this form,
your certification will be subject to approval by the SCDOT Technician
Certification Board even if you pass the written exam.
