Techs - certification update question.

Just wondering because I'm getting impatient. :whistle: How long after the class until your status on Safe Kids was updated and you could print your certificate, etc?

Our class ended on April 30th but I don't want to bother emailing the instructor if I just need to be a little more patient. ;)

And yes, I passed :p and zactayaus (we took the class together) hasn't been updated yet either, AFAIK, so I assume the whole class is still waiting.

TIA!

Hmmm, I want to say that I had tech status the day after my class was completed. If I had to wait at all, it was only through the weekend (class ended on a Friday). I would want to know why I'm not "officially" a tech yet.

Our check finished at 2 PM. I believe by 9 the same night I had access. I'm told that's unusual. My instructor was on the ball. ;)

Your card will not be availale until the Lead Instructor for the course finalizes and closes it. So you will need to emai lthe lead for the course and ask them when they will be finalizing the class.

We finished Friday afternoon and it was there by the time I checked Monday. In fact, a certificate and wallet card on cardstock were in my mailbox Monday.

My instructor printed out everyone's certificates and cards and gave them to us before we left the seat check on the last day.

I finished the class on Friday, early afternoon and when I checked Sunday morning, my status was updated.

I would venture to guess that in my case the instructor took care of updating everyone before she left on Friday. I just didn't think it would be that quickly, so I didn't bother to check lol.

I was hoping that by posting this the certification would suddenly go through. You know, the way kids coughs go away the second you pull in to the doctor or you find your lost car keys when your ride shows up. :p

I guess I'll shoot the instructor a quick email in the morning.

I took my course in June and it took until August to finally get everything. They did give me temporary access and my tech # but something happened with mine that took a long time. But, because of the mess-up, my certificate expires in August, Not June.
