Individual Renewal
An individual’s period of certification is displayed on their respective credentials. Certification expiration is based on a three year cycle. It is the individual’s responsibility to keep his or her certification current. The individual’s certification period will be updated and displayed on a new credentialing certification card provided to the successful renewal candidate by the NJATC. Please review the manual of guidelines (section 4.0 and 4.1) for additional information on Part A and Part B renewals.

Part A - A certified individual may renew Part A certification by re-taking the Part A Exam or take the Part B (hands on) exam successfully. Individuals that hold an expired credential for the Part A may also recertify at the Part A level provided their expired certification period ending date and the current date has not exceeded a time period of more than two years.

Part B – A certified individual may renew Part B certification by supplying a work history requirement of 1200 hours minimum within the current three year certification. A current Instrument Certified participant may also seek to renew their certification by taking the Part B Exam successfully. New credentials will be awarded with the latest exam date as the beginning date for a new three year time period. If an individual’s certification period has expired, the individual may re-certify at Part B by taking the Part B Exam successfully. The Part B Exam must be challenged and passed within two years of the date of expiration stated on the individuals certification credential.
