Maintaining Your Credential: Annual Maintenance

• To maintain certification and keep your certification status active, each CTRS is required to submit an annual maintenance application and fee for each year of the five-year certification cycle.
• Login today at MY NCTRC LOGIN to check on your annual maintenance date and complete the application process on time. The annual maintenance application and fee are due by the expiration date posted in your personal account.
• In the fifth year of the CTRS certification cycle, the annual maintenance fee must be submitted as part of the recertification application.

CTRSs are sent reminders via email when certification maintenance fees are due, so it is important for each individual to keep their MY NCTRC LOGIN profile up to date with their most current contact information.

In today’s demanding employment market, NCTRC Certification indicates to employers and the public that the CTRS has met the specific educational and professional experience requirements, in addition to passing the NCTRC Certification Exam. CTRSs who maintain certification will also retain their CTRS digital badge – allowing others to confirm the current authenticity of their certification.
