Renewals
Renewals of valid certificates are required on an annual calendar year basis following the successful completion of the examination. Certifications must be renewed every year by December 31, with the first renewal required by December 31st of the year following the date of initial certification for the Grade Level for which the renewal is applicable (e.g. If the exam was taken September 2009, renewal is due December 31st, 2010).
Renewal is accomplished either by applying for renewal and paying the renewal fee, or by successful completion of the next certification level exam. Re‐examination at the level that is being maintained is not necessary for renewal.
Continuing education is required to maintain valid Certificates. Any Continuing education that is approved by NC DENR for water OR wastewater shall be accepted as meeting the requirements for Continuing Education. A notice will be sent as a reminder that renewal is required; however, timely renewal is the sole responsibility of the certificate holder.
