Crane operator certification is valid for five years.
Candidates must complete all of their recertification requirements within one year prior to the expiration date of their certification.
Candidates whose certification expires, will be required to retake the full written and practical examinations over again.
Certified candidates may take their recertification examinations up to one year prior to their certification(s) expiring. Regardless of when the candidate takes the test(s) within that year. The new 5 year certification period will begin from the expiration date of the candidate’s prior certification.
Example

Candidate must recertify between 6-1-2009 and 6-1-10 if the candidate recertifies anytime between these dates their recertification would expire on the same date 6-1-15

Candidates who are not certified in all specialties may add a new specialty at the same time as they take their recertification examinations by taking the full examination in that specialty (IAI the testing company charges extra for this.)
