 I understand that I must notify RAC once I have received my certification documents to determine my eligibility for Professional Membership.

I understand that if I am eligible for Professional Membership, I will need to take the RCRT™ Exam (passing both its written and practical components) and upgrade my membership to become a Professional Member of RAC and obtain my RCRT™ designation.

I understand that once I am certified, I can only remain a Student Member for the time to register for and complete the RCRT™ Exam.

I understand that if I am certified and not eligible to take the RCRT™ Exam, I will  not be allowed to renew my Student Membership unless I show proof of further education to meet the eligibility requirements for the RCRT™ Exam.
