How will applicants be informed about the board's decision to renew their certification?

Applicants will be informed about the board's decision to renew their certification in writing from division staff. This method provides a formal and documented means of communication, ensuring that the details of the renewal decision are clearly stated and can be retained by the applicant for their records. Written communication is standard practice for official matters such as certification renewals, as it prevents misunderstandings and allows applicants to have a physical record of the board's communications. This process is also consistent with the need for transparency and formality in regulatory environments.

Other methods, such as telephone calls or emails, while they can be more immediate, may lack the formality and clear documentation that written notices provide. Public announcements do not specifically ensure that all affected applicants receive the information directly and would be more suitable for general information dissemination rather than personal, individualized communication regarding certification status.
