What will the future certification program look like? How will it impact state licensing that requires certification vs. training?

Because the modularized, function-based training breaks traditional training offerings into smaller pieces, PERC is still determining the details of how that fits in the certification program. For example, will certification be issued based on completion of a training program(s), a module(s), or a learning path in addition to passing a knowledge exam and completing an On-the-Job practical? Or will it involve some different configuration?

Although the answers are undetermined, a project team of PERC’s Safety & Technical Training Working Group is reviewing those issues and will make a recommendation to the full group for discussion and approval.
