Restore your Certificate
You have 6 months from certificate expiry date to restore your certificate providing the required Continuous Education Units (CEU) are met. A restoration fee will apply. Your certificate will be restored from the expired renewal date.
If 6 months have passed since your certificate expired, you will have to re-enrol in the Certified Locator Program and comply with current requirements.
