[Wtpcommittee] WTP - Renewal issues

[Sean Holland]

Good morning folks.  We spoke recently about getting the WTP certification renewal process going after a multi-year hiatus.  Out of the 20 WTPs,  11 are beyond the three-year mark since first being designated a WTP.  One more will hit the three-year mark next month.  Six WTPs will need to renew by the end of 2026, one at the end of 2027, and one at the end of 2028.

I went back through the  master list of WLTA seminar attendance to see if WTPs had been accumulating the requisite 6 hours of continuing education per three-year renewal period.  One way to do that is to count all hours since the original designation.  Another way would be to count only the last three calendar years.  For the 12 WTPs needing to renew at the end of 2025, 11 have logged enough WLTA continuing education hours if all hours since original designation are counted.  If only hours since January 1, 2023, are counted, 7 WTPs have enough hours.  Just looking at the last three years doesn't seem warranted, given that the WLTA is the party that put the renewal process on ice and the lack of communication about the renewal process.  I recommend that all hours earned since the original designation count.

On the spreadsheet below "NA" means "Not Applicable," i.e., any hour earned in that time period were earned before the initial WTP designation and thus don't count for the continuing education requirement.

The people who are short of WLTA seminar hours could very well have enough based on in-house training or other comparable education approved by the committee.

We need to send out renewal notices.  The form has space for people to list their education hours.  In the e-mails transmitting the forms, we can inform those who have enough hours that they don't have to list classes.
