Since IDOT employees are certified as long as they work for the state (after initially passing the documentation course), how do they make sure they are certified when leaving the department?
State employees should make sure they take a retest prior to leaving the department if they want to be certified upon departure. If you pass the test then you are not required to take the Documentation class. State employees who want to retest must register on the ICT website and pay a $100 fee. Otherwise the employee has the option to attend the Documentation class for a $50 fee. It is the responsibility of the state employee to check the last time Documentation class was taken and passed. If 4 years has expired, then a retest is mandatory.
