Re-Certification

Re-Certification

As with the majority of other industries’ certifications, ABYC’s Certifications do expire after 5 years. Recertification is a simple process that re-establishes your educational standing in the industry.  Recertification exams are held entirely on-line and at a fraction of the cost of a complete certification class!

By recertify for another 5 years, it shows that you are keeping current with the evolution of technology, industry best practices, and updated standards in the marine industry.

Steps to Re-certify:

1. Make payment for recertification – Login to your ABYC account and purchase your recertification.

2. Complete the online certification designation application. This is required prior to taking the recertification exam to be approved for either Certified Advisor or Certified Technician. To log into your ABYC account, click here.

3. Submit ADA accommodations form (if applicable). We want to ensure that you have the necessary support and accommodations to succeed. If you require any accommodations under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) or any other support, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make appropriate arrangements.

4. Fulfill the 10 CEU requirement – Part of the recertification process involves earning 10 CEUs (Continuing Education Units). If you have completed any other marine-related training, we can accept CEUs and apply it to your ABYC transcript.

5. Review the study guide – a copy of the study guide will be mailed to you shortly. We recommend reviewing before attempting the recertification exam.

6.Take the online recertification exam – Details for the exam will be emailed with a test by deadline.
