Subelement G1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group G1D · 47 CFR §97.9(b)
How long is a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) valid for exam element credit?
- A.30 days
- B.180 days
- C.365 days (correct answer)
- D.For as long as your current license is valid
WhyA Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination remains valid for exam element credit for 365 days. §97.9(b) keeps a CSCE valid for 365 days for the purpose of exam element credit, giving an applicant a full year to use it toward a license upgrade, answer C. 30 and 180 days both undersell that window, and the CSCE's validity isn't tied to how long your current license itself remains valid.
