Do certifications carry over after lapse?

A fellow member who did a summer membership was asking if they’d have to retake all their tool certificate classes if they let their membership go dormant for the months they aren’t coming. I didn’t have the answer for them.

Theoretically, if they reactivated their old ID, everything should still be valid.

But (big bertha butt) we did not have Active directory groups very long ago, so they may have to convince people they have taken the classes with exception of some cases like Woodshop Basics for which the old training is no longer honored. It really depends on how long ago they left. They should be sure to reactivate the old account instead of recreating a new one in any case.

They haven’t left yet. They joined in July and would be turning it on and off during our busy months
