Question.

I got my NIHSS cert which expired this last December (after two years). I didn't renew it in December and would like to do so now. Do I take test A again or test group B? Seems like it is not letting me access group A test again?

tia!

If you took "A" you need to take "B" and so forth, just keep going down the list every 2 years :)

• ONLY COMPLETE ONE (1) TEST GROUP AT A TIME. Certification with one test group (1) is good for up to two (2) years.

[h=4]001A- Certification TEST GROUP A[/h]– The suggested certification period for this group is 12 to 24 months. After passing Group A, you must wait at least 6 months before taking Group B.

[h=4]001B- Certification TEST GROUP B[/h]- The suggested certification period for this group is 12 to 24 months. After passing Group B, you must wait at least 12 months before taking Group C.

[h=4]001C- Certification TEST GROUP C[/h]– The suggested certification period for this group is 12 to 24 months. After passing Group C, you must wait at least 12 months before taking Group D.

[h=4]Additional test groups such as D, E, F, G,H, I J, K, etc.[/h]These test groups will be distributed and released to your personal account based on the expert panel's suggested time guidelines.

Thank you! Yeah, I just wasn't sure that I didn't have to go back and take A again since it has been OVER two years. B is all that I can see is available to me so I guess that is what I will take!
