When must you retake the full certification course if recertification is not completed in time?

Retaking the full certification course is required if recertification is not completed within a specific time frame. In this case, recertification must occur within 60 days after the expiration. If an individual fails to complete the recertification process in this allotted time, they must retake the entire certification course to ensure they meet the necessary training requirements. This requirement exists to maintain a standard of competence and knowledge among those administering medications, thus ensuring the safety and health of those receiving care. Ensuring timely recertification is critical for the ongoing professional development of caregivers in this field.
