Renewal of Part-Time Approval Certifications

Part-time approval certification is renewed every two years if the individual has satisfied the renewal requirements. One option for renewal is two months of appropriate occupational experience and ten hours of in-service activities relating to the required certification courses.

Each District Certification Committee will approve and publish a list of part-time approval in-service activities meeting the following criteria:

The in-service will consist of structured activity which is at least ten hours in length.
The activity will include a learner assessment component.
The activity addresses the competencies from one or more of the seven approved certification courses.

An individual wishing to pursue an activity not included on the published list must secure approval from the District Certification Committee. The District Certification Committee will base its decision on the three criteria listed above.

Two months of appropriate occupational experience must accompany part-time approval in-service activities to allow renewal.

A second option is to complete one of the certification courses or equivalent district in-service activities meeting one of the education requirements (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 69). Completion of the equivalent of one requirement can be used by itself for renewal without the need for any occupational experience. Completion of one-third of a requirement, along with two months of appropriate occupational experience, will also allow for renewal of the part-time approval. Instances involving completion of one-third of a requirement will not require approval by the District Certification Committee.
