When must I apply for certification?

You must complete the application process, including the third party exam (if required for your discipline), before the expiration date of your interim certification. Submit your application for certification to EPA within 30 days of completing your initial training course so that you have plenty of time to take the third party exam and ensure that your application is complete before your interim certification expires.
