To ensure your skills and competence remains up to date with changing industry trends and developments, you are required to re-certify within your certification period. This will ensure continued professional recognition of these skills, which will enhance your career prospects and make you more marketable to organizations requiring the services of experienced and credible personnel.
The re-certification period and requirements vary for both competency and qualification based schemes.
There are slightly different requirments for each Industry Scheme so please check the criteria for the relevant scheme.
