Recertification countdown

Add each certification you hold and the date it was signed. You'll see when each one lapses, and you can put the dates in your calendar.

Five years is the longest either scheme allows: SNT-TC-1A 12.2 (recommended maximum: five years from the date the certification record is signed); NAS410 Rev. 6, 8.5 (not to exceed five years, all levels). Your employer may set a shorter interval, so check your written practice.

Where these figures come from

  • SNT-TC-1A 12.2 (recommended maximum: five years from the date the certification record is signed). Certifications lapse on the last day of the month.
  • NAS410 Rev. 6, 8.5 (not to exceed five years, all levels). Certifications lapse at the end of the month (NAS410 Rev. 6, 8.3.1).
  • Your employer's written practice may set a shorter interval or other conditions. Check it.
