4.3.1.3. Certifications count whenever they were earned
Required Often forgotten
Some requirements call for a certification such as Scuba Open-Water Diver or American Red Cross Standard First Aid. A current certification may be used regardless of when it was earned.
Notes and warnings
Tip. No expiry on when it was earned, only on whether it is current. A Scuba Open-Water Diver certification or Red Cross Standard First Aid from three years ago is usable today if it is still current.
