NBPI Certification Term and Renewal
In order to assure that inspectors are keeping abreast of new regulations and technology, inspectors will have to take an open book refresher exam. The exam will be based on information updates that have been posted on the NBPI website. All recertification candidates must take the refresher exam and pass with an 85%.
NBPI Certified Inspector status may be maintained for a period of four years. Inspectors are required to:
1. Complete and submit to SSPC a Renewal Packet every four
years from their certification date. Renewal letters are
sent to the last known address 6 months prior to the recertification
date. The letter includes a return form with information
to process a renewal.To request a Renewal Packet please contact
Charlene Venson
2. Periodically visit the NBPI website to review the regulations and technology updates that are posted.
3. Register and take the certification refresher exam before the expiration date of your certification.
Administrative Notes:
- Candidate is responsible for sending SSPC updated address information.
- If we get no response to the initial renewal letter sent out, a final notice is sent 3 months later.
- If we still get no response by their certification expiration date, these individuals’ certifications expire and they must re-take the NBPI Course and Certification Exam to become certified again.
- If mail is returned as undeliverable, the NBPI candidates record is coded with a bad address. These addresses are then sent to the Navy for verification and possible update.
