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.
