Certification Renewal
Rigging Renewal
Continued training and professional development activities are essential in the changing entertainment technology environment. Therefore, to maintain the ETCP certification, a certified entertainment rigger must accumulate 40 renewal credits of continued training/professional development OR retake the certification examination and accumulate a minimum of 10 renewal credits of continued training/professional development over the 5 year period following the examination (see table below). Documentation of these credits must be submitted in your Log Book along with the renewal fee and approved every 5 years from the date of initial certification.
