Recertification
Certification must be renewed every 24 months
There is a $75.00 renewal/maintenance fee due when the recertification application is submitted
Submission of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) of 20 hours earned since the initial Certification was earned or the last Recertification was issued in Law Enforcement or Medicolegal Investigation, nursing, medical, etc., as listed below
Submission of a Current Valid Photo ID
All information listed must be submitted to the Academy Testing Review Committee every two years at least 60 days before your certification/recertification expires. CEU hours can be earned in other career fields such as law enforcement investigations (not general LEO procedures), nursing, emergency medicine, criminal justice, etc. However, not all courses earned in those other career fields qualify toward Recertification, as CEUs for the Medicolegal Death Investigator Recertification must be directly related to death investigation.
Additionally, CEU hours submitted to DITA for recertification must be earned in different courses within the 24-month period in which they are submitted. For example, if a student took a course in 2024 and repeated the same course in 2025, only one of those courses' hours would count toward the 20 hours required for Recertification.
