Recertification
Recertification Process
The recertification process is straightforward. Once an individual has successfully completed the applicable examination, the individual is responsible for completing 18 recertification units (RU) within the three-year period following the original successful examination. All recertification periods end either June 30 (for March and June examination dates) or December 31 (for October and December examination dates). Recertification journals are available to assist in the tracking of recertification units (RU) credits. The journals can be obtained through the ASQ Headquarters office (800-248-1946) or the ASQ website ASQNET.org. To assist members, ASQ National and the Raleigh Recertification Chair send email reminders from time to time to make members aware of upcoming deadlines.
Recertification Units (RU) are awarded in several categories, all of which are aimed at maintaining or improving the knowledge demonstrated during the examination or are job enhancing. The categories include: Professional Development; Employment; Courses: as an Instructor or as a Student; Section / Professional Organization Meetings; Committees, Certifications, Exam Proctor, Videotapes, and Publishing (which includes presentations at meetings, conferences, etc).
The application page and other applicable pages from the member’s recertification journal accompanied by clear and appropriate supporting evidence should be forwarded to Stuart Walker (Raleigh Section Recertification chairperson). Journals can not be accepted more than six months prior to the expiration date of the particular certification. A maximum grace period of six months past the expiration date is available for those members needing more time to submit their application for recertification.
The package can be hard copies or if paying with credit card soft (scanned). If scanned, ensure application page has two signatures (one for payment authorization and one for declaration).
Submittals for recertification should be forwarded to Stuart Walker, 205 Veranda Court, Raleigh, NC 27615
If using USPS, please do not require signatures for receipt as no one is usually available to sign for the delivery. FedEx, UPS and other delivery services are familiar with the address and routinely leave packages without signatures required.
Messages or inquiries can be left at telephone number 919 433-8048, or e-mail stwalker@teleflexmedical.com
Usually within one week of receipt, the applications for recertification are reviewed for accuracy and completeness. In cases of concern, the applicant is contacted to resolve the concern with either more information and/or further clarification. ASQ Headquarters relies on the Raleigh Section Recertification chairperson / committee to establish the validity of all applications. Members are notified in writing or by e-mail when their package has been reviewed and accepted. Names of members successfully completing the recertification process are posted on the Raleigh ASQ web site under Other News as well under Recertification Announcements directly below this page.
Receipts for payment can be provided by ASQ National as they process all monies.
