Recertification

activities that lists at least 500 hours in the following areas:

1   Teaching (asthma, COPD, respiratory and/or
       tobacco education experience, and

2    Learning (professional development activities.)

NB      A minimum of 100 hours must be obtained in each category.

or

Option B – Re-taking the CAE, CRE, CCE or CTE Examination

Fees for Recertification

Option A – $250

Option B – $300
