What is the maximum number of renewal credits for attending a non-ETCP recognized training course?

• A. 1 renewal credit per credit hour
• B. 0.5 renewal credits per credit hour
• C. No renewal credits awarded
• D. 2 renewal credits per credit hour

Answer: (B)

The maximum number of renewal credits for attending a non-ETCP recognized training course is set at 0.5 renewal credits per credit hour. This policy is in place to encourage ongoing education and professional development for technicians while maintaining a distinction between recognized training programs that meet specific industry standards and those that do not.

By allowing a limited number of credits for non-recognized training, it acknowledges the value of continuing education while prioritizing structured, recognized programs that adhere to established ETCP guidelines. Therefore, participants engaging in such training can still receive some recognition for their efforts. This approach allows for flexible learning pathways while ensuring that recognized quality education remains a top priority in the field.
