Annual Renewal

Successful completion of the ARTP certification of competence includes entry onto the ARTP National Spirometry Register for 12 months.

Each year you will be required to renew your certificate for a further 12 months at a cost of £40. This will ensure your name remains on the register and your certificate remains valid. Recertification simply involves completing an online annual declaration of maintaining competency in the spirometry certification level, along with the payment of the renewal fee. Your renewal invitation will be sent 8 weeks prior to your certificate expiring.

If you missed the renewal window, you can still renew your certificate up to 1 year after your certificate expires by paying a renewal fee of £40 along with a £10 late fee. This will extend your certificate's expiry date by 12 months (the extension is not based on your payment date).

As part of the renewal declaration you will agree to take part in an audit process if required. The spirometry audit takes place each year and only 5% of the register will be chosen at random to take part in this. You will be notified if you have been selected for this.
