Recertification
ATA professional certification tells your customers that you have complied with voluntary industry fabrication and installation standards, as well as federal regulations-and that your work meets the highest standards of quality.
In order to maintain your hard-earned certification designation, you need to accumulate 15 credits within a three-year time frame.
