Within how many days must an administrator pass a written exam after completing the initial certification program?

The requirement for an administrator to pass a written exam after completing the initial certification program is set at 60 days. This timeline is established to ensure that individuals can promptly demonstrate their understanding of the material covered in the training. The 60-day window allows enough time for participants to study the content without extending the period to a point where the information may become less relevant or forgotten. By adhering to this timeframe, the program ensures that administrators are equipped with current knowledge and skills that are critical for effectively managing residential facilities for individuals with various needs.

This structured approach not only supports accountability in the certification process but also reinforces the importance of retaining and applying the learned material in practice.
