If you’re recertifying by examination:
You don’t have to retake the Level II general exam—just the relevant specific exams for each method in each applicable industry sector—as long as you hold at least one valid ASNT NDT Level II certificate at the time of examination.
You must retake and pass all your exams before your certification expiration date. If the date has passed, you must reapply as an initial applicant.
If you fail an exam, you cannot renew by application.
