Purpose of recertification is to ensure those holding a current AALSSC belt certification remain competent to perform the work expected of belt certificated individuals.
Recertification is required every three years or the certification expires. Certifications always expire on the last day of the month. (ex. certified 15 May 2024 - expires 31 May 2027).
Two options
- Option 1) Re-test - certified person simply emails AALSSC asking to retest and the same process as initial certification begins (see Get Certified Tab).
- Option 2) Documentation: certified person submits questionnaire documenting self improvement and process improvement activities over the certification time period. See .pdf recertification policy at bottom of page:
