Certification requirements

Omnivex training standards specify the minimum requirements for certification. Future courses may be expanded, as necessary, to include additional material required to meet classroom needs.

To receive certification, students must obtain a minimum mark of 75% on the written examination.

An Omnivex Technical Certificate is valid for one year from the date the exam is successfully completed. Although not required, Omnivex recommends that participants attend an in-class training session before they attempt their renewal exam.

NOTE: Students may not immediately challenge a second certification exam if they fail the initial attempt. They must first participate in Omnivex-authorized, class-based training sessions before they attempt the certification test again.
