Types of Certificatation Period
ONE OFF CERTIFICATION TRAINING
Some Certification training we provide or facilitate require no renewal or re-certification. Such examples would be the VHF Operator Course or Powerboat Certification. We recommend regular practice, continuing development and review to ensure that you remain up to date and competent in the training.
TWO YEAR RE-CERTIFICATION (NFPA Compliant Training)
Re-Certifying on time every two-years is a requirement to maintain your level of certification.
This ensures that you will maintain your require knowledge and skills in a specialist discipline and always have an up to date certification to display, provide to your employers, show to the public and clients and others.
Should you have any sort of incident you can also provide a training and certification trail and record to reduce any concern that you were not current in your training and practice of skills and updated information.
A valid current certificate may create more opportunities for you in terms of recognition, professionalism, employment, promotions, client retention, public perception and your training integrity.
This would show your commitment to ongoing education and your dedication to staying in the know with the ever changing industry. A valid certification may also be required for you to offer your services as well as liability insurance.
As a Rescue or Medical professional your certification is a requirement and part of your professional portfolio.
Adequate practice, logged hours, operational and theoretical membership renewal (and current First Aid and CPR from a recognised provider at a standard needed) may be required to maintain an active certification status. We are committed to helping you stay certified and professionally registered with your various institutions and standards.

Time to Re-Certify?
We recommend that 6 months before your certification expires you look to find a date to come in and recertify.
Your original "Technician" level course would have (usually) been 5 days long with skills testing and review of required knowledge and academic theory. If you re-certify within the determined time (2 year) period your required attendance is just two days and would re-certify you for another two years.
Are you "RE-certifying?" Then your current Certificate should have an "in date," (not expired) certified date.
Like many official courses, licenses, designations, etc; if the Certification has expired then it is not a 're-certification.'
