The NPC requires all certified start-up technicians to be re-certified every three years. The recertification program will review the essentials of good start-up practices learned during the original start-up class as well as review the latest changes to the NPC Start-up card.

Each student will learn how to "test their test kits" with standard reference solutions. In addition, focus will be placed on the method of calculations required to determine the carbonate alkalinity required to calculate the Langelier Saturation Index.
