Technology evolves rapidly. We recommend recertification every 2 years to stay current:
Q: What happens if I don't finish within the recommended timeline? A: You have 1 year from enrollment to complete certification requirements at your own pace. Extensions available upon request.
Q: Can I retake activities or projects if I fail? A: Yes. Activities allow unlimited resubmissions. Projects can be revised and resubmitted once based on instructor feedback.
