The ETCP Council has extended the grace period for recertification due to COVID-19.
If your certification expired in 2020 or first half of 2021 and you have yet to submit in your renewal, it would be greatly appreciated if you could submit your recertification application soon. Use the recertification portal at: https://etcp.wufoo.com/forms/etcp-certification-renewal. Many industry continuing education courses provide a certificate of completion or wallet card that verifies your participation and completion of the training. Scan your certificates and cards and include them with your application to expedite the confirmation process of your continuing education credits.
_______________________________________________________________
The ETCP Council continues to offer the payment deferral for recertifying applicants that are out of work.
If you have not submitted your recertification application because you are unable to pay at this time due to the pandemic, but want to continue your certification, please send in your renewal application and note on your form you are requesting to defer your payment. Your status on the ETCP website will not be updated until your payment is received, but there won’t be any penalties for deferring.
As an ETCP certified technician, you are in the top third of your industry. Take the time to complete your forms and renew your certification today—you are worth it!
