My 9-year re-certification is due in the fall of '08. I've read QC1 2006 and be B5.1 2003 but I'm still unsure of a few things. Recently in Aug. '06 I met the requirements for CWE and was awarded a certificate.
My concern is it is becoming more and more difficult for me to secure sponsorship from my employer and I'm finding it challenging enough to make ends meet without the worry of maintaining my certification credentials.
My question is: is the documented training that I submitted for the CWE eligible to be used as the substituted training for the 80 PDHs and is the info provided for the CWE application complete enough to meet the qualification requirements? If it is I should have 44 PDHs banked.
Also in '02 I took a vendor provided training for Robot Programming 11 - the certificate awarded specifies that I completed 24 hours of training - Is this eligible?
Finally- Are the Lincoln Training seminars and class eligible and does anyone have suggestion for affordable training recommendations to complete my 80-hour requirements?
All feedback would be thankfully recieved
Thanks in advance for the help.
