CIT Class of
2020: It's Time
to Recertify!
All Certified Ice Tech-
nicians (CIT) expiring
in 2025 must complete a CIT Recertifica-
tion (CITR) exam by the end of the year to
remain current. Beginning in April, online
exams will be posted through the end of
the year that will provide the opportunity
for CITs to self-study and write the CITR
exam utilizing an online proctor.
Those seeking CIT recertification must
maintain an annual membership (Indi-
vidual, Facility, or Vendor) with the United
States Ice Rink Association to keep their
professional certification valid.
Any CIT that has allowed their certifica-
tion to lapse more than 5 years will no longer
be eligible to take the recertification exam
and would need to repeat all three courses. J
