Application Process for Recertifying Your HKC By Online Video Submission
Current HKCs have the option of recertifying online, as an alternative to attending a 1-Day HKC certification workshop. On successful completion and approval of the video application, candidates will be awarded HKC Instructor privileges and responsibilities for an additional three-year period.
The fee for the HKC Online Recertification is $100.
After registering for the online recertification, within two business days you will receive a link to your testing form.You will be able to submit the link for your video submissions on this testing form. You will have 90 days to complete the testing form.
Your videos will be forwarded to a Master RKC Instructor who will evaluate and provide feedback on your test. Once you have fulfilled all requirements, Dragon Door will send you a certificate of attendance as well as your certification.
You will be able to use your certificate of attendance for applying for CEUs. You will have 2 hours awarded for your CEUs.
