Resetting Certification Exams

A “reset” will not use another digital voucher/ask for a credit card, and each certification candidate is allowed three resets.

The reset button will not be visible unless a candidate checks back into the exam after experiencing a technical disruption.
Certification candidates must check back in, be approved by the proctor and begin their certification exam (i.e., click the [Next] button) within the required 20-minute window. If they fail to do so, their session will be terminated, and they will receive the following notification.

In this scenario, the certification candidate’s failure to begin the exam within the required 20 minutes resulted in a scored exam.

Which certifications will have expiration dates?

All certifications earned through the iCEV Testing Platform will include a five-year expiration from the date of achievement.

The only exception is the EETC Principles of Small Engine Technology certification, which will continue to expire after three years.

When does the certification expiration policy take effect?

The new policy begins on July 14, 2025.

What if I earned my certification before July 14, 2025?

Certifications earned before this date will remain valid indefinitely and will not expire.

How do I re-certify?

You can re-certify by registering and completing the certification exam again through the iCEV Testing Platform.

When can I re-certify?

You may re-certify at any time. Your new certification will be valid for five years from the date of your re-test. To avoid a gap in certification status, plan to re-certify before your current certification expires.

Does this policy apply to all states?
