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 operator recertification requirement began with the 2021-2022 Five Diamond Designation renewal cycle.
The recertification program was implemented in 2021, now all Five Diamond companies are required to be full compliance. At minimum, operators that last received their certification in 2020 or prior, must recertify in 2023. Requests for adjustment to program compliance deadlines will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
