This option requires the individual to attend the current certification course without taking the exam. In most cases, attending an IMSA course does not cover the certification renewal fee. Be sure to check with your section when you register to confirm.
If you earn the next certification level in a specialty, it will be valid for three years, so renewing your current certification is not required. However, if you choose to keep your lower-level certification, you may apply those hours toward its renewal.
For example: an individual with a current IMSA Traffic Signal Technician I certification who passes the IMSA Traffic Signal Field Technician II certification course will receive the higher-level certification, which will be due for renewal three years from the date printed on the new certificate. The IMSA Traffic Signal Technician I certificate will not be reissued.
It is the certification holder’s responsibility to submit a certification renewal application and upload proof of continuing education in their CEC Log on their IMSA profile. This includes certificates of completion, transcripts and any other relevant documentation.
After the required documentation is received and processed an email will be sent with the Certificate Renewal Invoice for payment. Payment is expected within 60 days of receipt of the invoice.
The certification holder will have one year after the expiration date to reinstate their certification by documenting their hours of training and submitting a certification renewal application as noted above. If the certification is not reinstated within one year, the individual must renew through the normal certification process by taking the current certification exam at the highest level previously attained and paying the regular certification exam fee. Only the regular certification exam fees will be due, and retake of prerequisites will not be required. IMSA will not recognize any IMSA certificate(s) without an expiration date.
IMSA certification renewal fees are based on an individual’s certification, not an agency/employer group rate.
