Continuing Education

Maintaining Your NAWT Certificate of Completion

Once you complete any one of the NAWT training courses and become NAWT certified, your training certificate will be valid for two years. To maintain your certification you will need to complete eight (8) hours of NAWT approved continuing education. You will need to submit your renewal form on our website along with your certificate of attendance or certificate of completion for the training credits obtained. Your renewal must have this documentation to be processed. For more information…

Are there fees associated with certification renewals?

There is a renewal fee of $100 per certificate renewal for a two-year period. Most NAWT offered classes include the cost of one certificate or one certificate renewal. Any additional renewals will need to be submitted to either the training partner (if allowed) or online with the additional renewal fee paid for each certification being renewed.

What happens if I don’t get my continuing education completed before my anniversary date?

NAWT offers a one-year grace period from the expiration/renewal date of your certification to obtain the continuing education credit hours necessary for the renewal. Your certificate will be renewed for two years from the original expiration/renewal date. Please note, while NAWT gives a one-year grace period to obtain your renewal credits, your training certification will show as EXPIRED on our website and in your NAWT Member profile. If you pass the one-year grace period, you will be required to retake the full class and exam to restart your certification with a new renewal period based off of the new class or workshop.
