How certification works
Credentials are valid three years. Recertify with CECs, current CPR and a fee. Exams are delivered by Pearson VUE; this system handles application, eligibility review and exam authorization.
Paying an exam fee does not authorize an exam or award a credential. Staff review comes first.
