In order for an operator to maintain an "active" operator status they must attend a recertification course once a calendar year. This course is comprised of two portions; 1) a lecture discussing relevant legal issues surrounding breath alcohol testing and a review of the theory of operation of the instrument, which concludes with a written proficiency examination and 2) a practical laboratory exercise which requires "hands-on" operation of the instrument by trainees.
