Recertification Handbook and Forms
The Recertification Handbook has been revised effective March 2010. If you have an older Recertification Handbook in your possession, please discard it. This latest Recertification Handbook describes the new Online Recertification System. While the process for recertifying is different, the Continual Learning Program (through contact hours) is unchanged.
