[D16ve-l] Re-certifying Vessel Examiners

[Robert Miller]

Ahoy again VEs,

I been advised to remind everyone of the procedure for recertifying VEs who
have allowed the certification to lapse. Here is the Annual Certification
and recertification procedure directly from page six of the VSC manual.
==============================================
"Annual Certification Procedures: To remain certified, VEs must complete at
least five VSCs each calendar year.

Recertification Procedures: If any qualified
VE fails to perform the annual certification procedures within the last five
years, they must complete two satisfactory VSCs under the supervision of a
certified VE in order to regain their certification. The certifying VE
receives the credit for the two recertification VSCs. The candidate must
then meet the requirements as stated in the Annual Certification Procedures
above to retain their certification.

If a VE fails to perform the annual certification procedures for five
consecutive years, that member will have to meet the full initial
qualification criteria to regain qualification."
