What will happen if the application for General Instructor Certification is not made within the specified timeframe?

If the application for General Instructor Certification is not submitted within the specified timeframe, the applicant may need to take the entire course again to meet the requirements for certification. Timelines are established to ensure that candidates maintain current knowledge and skills relevant to instruction. If an application is not made on time, it indicates a potential lapse in engagement with the instructional material and the standards that govern training practices.

This requirement underscores the importance of timely application not only for the individual instructor’s professional development but also for ensuring that the integrity of the instructional program remains intact. The need to retake the entire course serves as a mechanism to refresh the candidate's understanding of the material and to reaffirm their commitment to the standards expected of a General Instructor.
