Step 5: Notification of Certification
Once we have received your Online Certification, you will be mailed a Certificate of Completion for your records. LMHA will retain a copy in your file. The Certificate of Completion will need to be renewed once every 5 years (subject to change as needed). Should LMHA revise the 5 year renewal rule, you will be notified of any revisions. We suggest that you keep a record of the date you completed the Online Certification so that you will be aware of its needed renewal.
Should you have any questions regarding the above, or if you would like these documents mailed to you contact Carol Schaffer at (440) 288-7489.
