Certification is valid for two years. You can renew your OCNT by accumulating 20 continuing education credits during the two year period and paying the renewal fee. The renewal fee is $25 for OGIA Members, and $50 Non-Members. Master certification renewal fees are $50 for members and $100 non-members.

The OCNT program is a personal certification. You stay certified if you change jobs. Reporting training credits and changes of address or employer is your responsibility.
