    Silly question about LDO/ABO/NCLE in Georgia

    I am currently ABO/NCLE certified and working towards my license in the state of Georgia. Do i need to uphold the certifications as well when I become licensed? (I did contact the state office, but whoever I spoke with seemed unsure about everything!)
    Thank you!

    I don't believe you need to keep up your ABO / NCLE. I let both of mine lapse, and I have been able to renew my GA license without a problem. You just need to make sure you get your GA CEs.

    There is a lot of overlap with the GA and ABO/NCLE CEs so it is easy to do all three with the same classes. It is only a matter if you want to pay the renewal fee for ABE/NCLE.

    Another thing to keep in mind, if you ever move, a current ABO & NCLE helps getting a license in many other states. It made a big difference getting my NC license.

    Good luck !! Bill W.

    Do yourself a favor, and go above the minimal requirements most do. Keep the board certifications active.
