Certification Policy V1.0, Section 9.3 |
Problem Summary |
Effect of late recertification is too harsh |
Problem Text |
In the Professions Certification Policy Version 1.0 June 2018 published as
X1816, section 9.3 states:
"Regardless of when re-certification takes place, the new three-year
certification period starts at the end of the previous certification period.
Professionals whose certification has lapsed may regain their certification
by re-certifying at any time up until one (1) year after their re-certification
date. In such cases the new three-year certification period also starts at
the re-certification date"
If someone's certification lapses they should be able to come back into
the program by re-certifying, and then not have to recertify for another 3
years
The above text from section 9.3 should be revised to state:
If re-certification takes place before the end of the previous certification
period or within one month thereafter, the new three-year certification
period starts at the end of the previous certification period.
If re-certification takes places more than one month after the end of the
previous certification period then the new three-year certification period
starts at the re-certification date.
Professionals whose certification has lapsed may regain their certification
by re-certifying at any time up until one (1) year after end of the previous
certification period. |
