InterCEPT recertification process
Certification Validity and Renewal Overview
InterCEPT Visual Inspector 1, Visual Inspector 2, and Program Manager certifications are valid for 5 years.
When a certification expires, you’ll need to complete the recertification process to stay current with the latest InterCEPT course content.
Recertification Steps
-
Check your certification status
- Go to your Class Management Console and open the "Certifications" tab.
- If your certification is within 6 months of expiration, a "Requires Recertification" message will appear next to it.
- You can renew at any time — even after expiration. There is no penalty for late renewal.
-
Complete required exams or updated classes
- If the class has not been updated:
Re-take and pass the final exam. (No need to re-purchase the class.)
- If the class has been revised:
Re-purchase the updated class, review the new content, and pass the final exam.
- Exam retake options
- If you do not pass the exam on the first try, you may review the course content and retake the exam as many times as needed at no extra cost.
- For revised classes, if you fail the updated exam, you may review and retry again — also at no extra cost.
- Pay the recertification fee
- A $350 Recertification Fee applies to each certification you renew.
- The payment option will appear at the bottom of the recertification page.
- Submit your renewal
- Once all required exams are passed and the fee is paid, a "RENEW CERTIFICATION" button will appear next to your certification name.
- Click it, answer a few short questions, and complete the digital signature process.
