It is still possible to join a refresher outside of the two months of expiry. In this case, the certificate must carry the new date of certification. A participant is only allowed to attend a refresher in the specific training module prior to the date of expiry on the current certificate or training records. The validity period is automatically calculated in WINDA by entering the completion date.
