Many standards ask compliance leaders to demonstrate the ongoing competency of individuals participating in a safety process. A third-party Professional-level or eXpert-level certificate for personnel provides evidence that an employee has the requisite knowledge of the industry standards to support developing a proper process. ## Who should recertify? Holders of an unexpired UL Solutions Professional or eXpert certificate who are within 90 days of their renewal date should seek recertification. ## Why should you upgrade from a Professional to eXpert level certificate? A Professional level certification indicates a baseline level of skill, whereas upgrading to eXpert can help distinguish you from an active participant in a standard to leading the way in the industry. As an eXpert, you actively demonstrate your capabilities through continued practice in the lessons taught, further building a safety culture in the organization you work for.
