ASATT Certification Verification System
Reminder!
Change to the Recertification
Process beginning with the cycle ending 2009!
In our effort to cut cost on printing and postage, individuals who are due to recertify this year will receive a postcard indicating that it is time to renew-these will be mailed out the middle of November. There will be a short list of instructions for the applicants to complete.
- Click on the Membership Application box on the left hand side of the page.
- Click on the blue underlined “here” in the phrase ‘click here for the ASATT Recertification Application form in Adobe Acrobat Format’. (You must have the Adobe Acrobat software on your computer. If you do not, click on the yellow box that says “Get Adobe Acrobat Reader”. You will be directed to another page which will give you step by step instructions to download the program).
- Print the recertification application form and proceed to completely fill out the application.
- Log into the member’s only site and print off your recertification information. You must submit a copy of your information regardless of whether or not you have earned CE’s through ASATT sponsored events.
- Enclose the recertification application form, a copy of your recertification information from the database, proof of the remaining CE’s (if you don’t have the required 20 or 30 CE’s on the database), and correct payment for recertification. If you are mailing your packet after December 31st, be sure to include the late payment fee.
Effective October 1, 2008, an increase went into effect for recertification. The fees are as follows:
Technician level (20 CE’s):
- ASATT Member: $60 After December 31st: $85
- Non-member: $120 After December 31st: $145
- ASATT International member: $100 After December 31st: $125
- Non-member International: $150 After December 31st: $175
Technologist level (30 CE’s):
- ASATT Member: $75 After December 31st: $100
- Non-Member: $110 After December 31st: $135
Applications mailed or postmarked after December 31 must include a $25 late fee. Your application will not be processed unless the correct fees are submitted. ASATT grants a renewal extension until January 31st, which means we must receive your packet on or before the 31st. If the 31st falls on a Saturday, your packet is due by the end of business on Friday. If the 31st falls on a Sunday, then your packet is due by the end of business on Monday. There will be no exceptions made for packets received after January 31st, unless prior arrangements were made with the recertification committee.
Please keep in mind that if you attended a state society meeting that was not sponsored by ASATT, please be sure that you have all of the correct documentation prior to submitting your application. The state societies should have submitted these programs for prior approval and obtained a code to be printed on your certificate of attendance. Please note that these CE’s will not show up on your database and that copies of registrations to these meetings are not proof of actual attendance.
If you are submitting last minute Sensor quizzes with your recertification packet, they will be graded when they are received by the recertification committee. CE’s are awarded in the year that they are earned. If you plan on filing your packet after December 31st, the quizzes will not be graded until January of 2010, which is out of your current cycle and therefore will not count.
*Please note: while ASATT grants you a 30-day extension, your employer may adhere to the expiration date of December 31st. Depending on when you submit your recertification application, the process may take 2 to 6 weeks. Therefore, if your employer requires that you maintain your certification as a job requirement, we suggest that you do not wait until the last minute to submit your information.
