Certification and Recertification |
|
Fundamental / Level I Certification
The Fundamental Certification requires ten (10) hours of Fundamental Courses be completed within the FIRST twelve (12) months of the treasurers request to participate in the program.
Fundamental Certification is permanent. Recertification is not required.
Advanced / Level II Certification
The Advanced Certification requires thirty (30) hours of course completion within the first 24 months of a Treasurers request to participate in the program. The Advanced Certification runs on the calendar year and therefore starts every January. To remain an Advanced Certified Kentucky County Treasurer, an annual recertification is required.
If certification is not completed within the 24 months, hours are lost and a treasurer must start over and has another 24 months to complete the 30 hour certification program.
Recertification
Any Treasurer who successfully completed an Advanced / Level II Certification must recertify annually in order to keep their Advanced Certification current.
Recertification requires twenty (20) hours of courses to be taken annually. A minimum of five (5) hours must come from Advanced / Level II Courses while the remain fifteen (15) may come from Fundamental or Elective Courses.
