Pandemic Recovery Grace Period Extension

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 would like to announce 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 2020 have until May 31, 2024, to submit for renewal.
• Certifications that expired in 2021 have until Sept. 30, 2024, to submit for renewal.
• 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. 

The renewal form can be found on our homepage in the ETCP Information Portal.

If you have any questions, please email etcp@esta.org.

The ETCP Council Will Re-evaluate the Renewal “Grace Period”

 

| ETCP Certifiable News: Summer 2021 | 

Due to the pandemic and industry shutdown, the ETCP Council extended the deadline of all 2020 and first half of 2021 renewals. However, this “grace period” is anticipated to come to a close soon following the ETCP Council meeting the first week of August, as the industry starts returning to work. If you have not submitted your recertification application, please send your renewal materials as soon as you possibly can, and we will begin the vetting process to get your certification up to date.

The renewal form can be found at this link: ETCP Information Portal. 

To speed the process, for the continuing education courses you attended, if you received a wallet card and/or certificate of completion, please scan these and attach them to your recertification application through the portal. Please be sure to include contact information and email addresses for organizers of all your continuing education.

It’s important to include your employer/contractor supervisor’s name and email address (spelled correctly) for vetting your work history. (You cannot be listed as your own supervisor and verify your work hours—we need this information confirmed in writing by a third party representative of the company.)

If you are missing continuing education credits, still submit your renewal form and note you are working on getting them cleared up.

There are lots of online classes available that offer ETCP renewal credits to complete the minimum of 10 renewal credits. Here is a link to training: Training for ETCP Renewal Credits. If you click on a training provider’s logo, you will be taken to their current course offerings. More training information can be found here: Training Opportunities and some of these courses are free.
