CIT

Note: To be eligible for recertification, the CIT must have certified a minimum of 5 students in at least 1 class per year of certification in any of the programs the CIT is certified in.
CSE
An IPC issued Certified Standards Expert credential for detailed knowledge of the standard itself, aimed at engineers and quality staff rather than line operators.
