Updates from the U.S. Ice Rink Association
p
All Certified Ice
Technicians (CIT) expiring
in 2024 must complete a CIT
Recertification (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 (Individual, Facility, or Vendor) with the
United States Ice Rink Association to keep their professional
certification valid.
Any CIT that has allowed their certification to lapse more
than 5 years will no longer be eligible to take the recertification
exam and would need to repeat all three courses.
Online exams will be available September – December with
registration beginning June 1.
