Eligibility Requirements – In addition to the training described above, some specialties have experience and/or education requirements you must meet in order to qualify for certification. The Eligibility Worksheet on Page 2 of the application packet will help you determine if you meet these requirements.
Fees and Photos – The fee for certification is $25 for each specialty. All applicants must submit photos with their application. Photo requirements are listed on Page 1 of the application instructions.

See WAC 365-230 for complete certification requirements and program jurisdiction. Bonding/Insurance – All firms must show proof of either: 1) contractor registration with the Department of Labor and Industries, including current bond and insurance; OR 2) a business liability insurance policy in the amount of at least $500,000.

Recertification – Firms and Individuals
The certification period for both Firms and Individuals is three years. The fee for certification is $25.00 for each individual specialty and firms.
Individuals must take a refresher training in their specialty and submit the application for recertification prior to the expiration of their certification. It’s important to apply for recertification before your expiration date to avoid having to retake the initial training course and pass any certification exams.

Application for Individual Recertification
Firms wishing to recertify must use the application form and meet the insurance requirements described in FIRM REQUIREMENTS above.
