Specifically, in point 6 of the Agreement called “Duration of validity of the qualification and update” it is noted that the operator’s qualification must be renewed within 5 years from the date of issue of the qualification certificate referred to in point 5.2, after verification of participation in refresher courses.

The course lasts 4 hours (1 hour for theoretical topics and 3 hours for practical ones).
