>>Time to Renew PCP Credentials
All SPFA Certification and Accredited Company credentials will expire on December 31, 2015, and need to be renewed. The renewal notices and invoices were sent out several weeks ago. If you haven’t seen it, please check with your office administrator.
As a reminder, please note that in order to renew your individual certification with the SPFA PCP, your CPI, CPR and First Aid cards which are applicable for your level of certificationmust be current. If they have an expiration date of December 31, 2015, or earlier, then they need to be renewed . In addition, to renew your company’s accreditation, please take a moment to review the Contractor Registration Form and if there are any updates, please advise the SPFA office at this time.
The replacement documents for any which may have expired, along with payment, must be returned to the SPFA PCP office before we are able to issue your certification and mail out your photo identification card and certificate(s) for 2016.
Reminder: The certified individual’s signature on the Certification Registration Form indicates that they had reviewed the Certification Handbook posted on the SPFA website at www.sprayfoam.org/certification. By signing the SPFA PCP Certification Agreement, the certified individual agrees what it is their responsibility to be familiar with the Handbook and be compliant with the practices described within the scope of the SPFA PCP.
