I'm not certified so I don't know the answer to your question.

Hello,

Have you tried contacting the store where you got your certification? Sometimes they keep records of all the individuals that received certifications at their store.

Good Luck and Have Fun!!!

Do you still have a copy of your certification number even? (possibly found in old log books?) The more information you can give them the better. Knowing where you got certified could help as well as providing instructors name.

Good luck getting a replacement card.

unfortunately the school I went to is out of biz. it was a franchise of some sort and they got caught for embezzelment!! Also it was a LONG time ago and I don't have any idea where any of my logs are!! My sister lives in the house I grew up in maybe they are in the attic!! Oh well even if I had the info I still need to do a major refresher couse!!
thanks for the help!

Yeah, I would suggest you take a refresher course. More than likely if your cert is reeaaallly old, then you might be a little rusty on your skills. I think that is your best (not to mention safest) bet.

I would agree with LuckyInk in that a refresher course or new certification may be the safest way to go. Equipment and understanding has come a long way.
