Re-certification
Re-certification benefits you as a professional. To get re-certified you have to demonstrate your commitment to continuous learning and development. Life-Long Learning (LLL) is crucial for every individual to remain competitive. For re-certification, you have to attend a PDS and obtain certain number of points (see here). It is up to you what program to choose (except PDS that is organised by EUMMAS) as long as the program is related to the field of certification and carried out by a recognised educational/training institution.
Re-certification process can be started once you meet the requirements described above. To maintain continuity of your certification, it is recommended to start re-certification at least one month prior to the end of the certification period.
To re-certify, you have to fill out the online re-certification form, upload proof of LLL (attendance report or certificate) activity that you had and pay re-certification fee. The attendance report/certificate/statement must contain, besides the usual details of the training institution, the following details:
- your name and surname
- name of the institution that organised the training
- dates when the training is held
- duration of the training in hours
- the title of the training
Proof of Certification
