TMA Five Diamond designation is granted annually to monitoring centers that satisfy all of the requirements of the five points of excellence:
Certification is a vital component of professional development and essential in compliance training. Periodic recertification demonstrates a commitment to maintaining competency. Recertification ensures your operator’s skills and knowledge are up-to-date on the regulations and rules that are essential to their job and industry.
The Five Diamond Committee and the TMA Board moved to include the addition of a recertification component for the Operator courses; certified operators will be required to recertify every three years. The new operator recertification requirement begins with the 2021-2022 Five Diamond Designation renewal cycle.
The new requirement will roll out over a two-year period. Beginning with the 2021 renewal period, operators must meet the new recertification requirement to remain in compliance. Companies have a two-year transition period to meet the new requirement. At minimum, operators that last received their certification five years ago or longer must recertify in 2021. By the end of the two-year transition period, each operator must be recertified within a three-year period. Full program compliance is expected by December 31, 2022. Requests for adjustment to program compliance deadlines will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Several course options will be available and discounted rates will be offered for bulk license purchases.
