223: Duration of manager's certificates

You could also call this:

"How long a manager's certificate lasts and when it expires"

If you have a manager's certificate, it will expire at some point. The end of its currency is when it expires, and this depends on whether you have renewed it before. If you have renewed it before, the end of its currency is the last day of the period for which it was last renewed.

If you do not renew your manager's certificate before the end of its currency, it will expire. You can apply to renew it before the end of its currency, but if you have not renewed it by then, it will still be valid for a little while longer. This is called the prospective renewal period, which is usually three years after the last renewal, or four years if you have never renewed it before.

If someone decides not to renew your certificate before the end of the prospective renewal period, it will expire on the day stated under section 228(3). If no decision is made before the end of the prospective renewal period, your certificate will expire then. But if your certificate is renewed before the end of the prospective renewal period, the renewal will take effect at the end of its currency, for the period stated under section 228(2).

Remember, other parts of the Act can also affect your manager's certificate, such as suspension, cancellation, or surrender.
