What occurs if an MRT fails to renew their certification after two years?

If an MRT does not renew their certification after two years, they may face additional fees. These fees are typically imposed to encourage the timely renewal of certification and to cover administrative costs associated with maintaining the certification process. This mechanism is designed to promote continuous compliance with professional standards and ensure that MRTs are up-to-date with their knowledge and skills in the field. The presence of additional fees serves as a financial incentive for professionals to stay current with their certifications rather than allowing them to lapse.

In this context, the focus is on managing the certification process rather than enforcing immediate punitive measures like suspension or changes to the certification status, such as automatic certification or mandatory training, which are less likely to apply in the case of a missed renewal.
