| ETCP Certifiable News: Fall 2024 |
Covid Grace Period text:
The pandemic is not yet as far behind us as we would like. The impact mentally and financially is only now starting to wane for many technicians. With that in mind, the ETCP Council made the decision to extend a certification renewal grace period to technicians whose certifications expired in 2020-2022. The pandemic followed by the accelerated return to work made those years difficult for technicians to keep their certifications up to date.
The ETCP Council has set the following as cutoff dates for the extended grace periods:
• Certifications that expired in 2022 have until Jan. 31, 2025, to submit for renewal.
If your certification expired during 2020-2022, you have until the above dates to submit a renewal application without having to also submit an appeal for approval to renew. Please reach out to Christina Smith with any questions.
Beginning November 1, 2024, the price of replacement wallet ID cards will be $15.00.
