CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS LIST – CLICK HERE>
To continue the certification beyond the original 3 years, certified professionals must attend Update workshops or walking tours that will be offered throughout North Carolina. There is NO reexamination associated with the 5-hour classroom Update workshops or the Update Walking Tours. To qualify for the Update course to receive recertification, certifications must be current or have expired within the last 2 years. Participants whose certifications expired over 2 years ago must retake the regular class and exam. Please have your certificate number ready when registering for an Update workshop, it is a required part of the registration process. Upon completion of the Update workshop, attendees will receive an updated inspector card, good for up to 3 years (the remaining portion of the year in which the class is taken, plus the following 2 years).
NOTE: The workshop and conference coordinators do not have the manpower nor the software to send you notifications or emails when your certification is about to expire. Please be responsible and make the necessary reminders or other arrangements for yourself to keep your certification active. No concessions will be made, especially at the end each year, for those who were not mindful to manage their own certification. We are only able to offer this workshop a limited number of times a year, across the state, and each workshop has a limited number of seats available. Again, please plan accordingly to maintain an active and valid certification.
