If a renovator takes the refresher course early, would the new certification period be valid for five years from the date of training, or five years from the date that the previous certification expires?

Question: I’m a training provider and have been accredited for the renovator refresher course. If a renovator takes the refresher course early (i.e., before their previous certification has expired), would the new certification period be valid from the date of training, or from the date that the previous certification expires?

Answer: Renovator refresher training and recertification is valid for five years from the date of training for a course that includes hands-on training and three years for a course that does not include hands-on training. Note that individuals who take the renovator refresher without hands-on training must, for their next refresher course, take a refresher course that includes hands-on training to maintain renovator certification.
