CHL training cert expiration?

[Vec]

the way i understand is the training certificate is good for 2 years after issued for an initial application.

Correct?

 

[straightwall]

I was told training is good for 12 months to qualify for LTC application requirement.

I did my training/application in July 2015.

2 years.

Thank you for the confirmation.

the instructor in my class was wrong, (he said 6 months) but I thought sure it was 2 years but didn't want to argue the point.

 

[straightwall]

Yes, my instructor was incorrect as well. Good to know.

Back when we did renewal classes, the renewal cert was only valid for 6 months.
