API grants each applicant three consecutive attempts during the 12-month period to sit and pass the test, starting with the first exam administration the applicant registers for.

Inspectors who do not apply for recertification within three months after the current certification expiration date will be decertified. 12. Circumstances such as heavy work schedule or work in other countries do not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to file a timely renewal application. 13.
