Under 55-8-194, what are the certification maintenance requirements?

• A. Two hours of training annually and a comprehensive examination each year.
• B. Certification expires after two years.
• C. Training is monthly.
• D. No minimum training requirements.

Answer: (A)

Certification maintenance under this statute means you stay current by both training and testing. It requires at least two hours of training each year to refresh and update your knowledge and skills, and a comprehensive examination annually to demonstrate you understand and can apply the material covered. This combination keeps the certification active and ensures ongoing competency. The other options don’t fit because the requirement isn’t monthly training, the statute doesn’t specify a two-year expiration, and there is a defined minimum training expectation.
