Certificate TR-steel

Courses for TR-steel/E, TR-steel/N and TR-steel/K are concluded by a voluntary examination. Course participants who have passed an examination with satisfactory results will receive a certificate. To obtain a certificate TR-steel/K a valid certificate from the basic course TR-steel/N is required.

The period of validity of a certificate TR-steel is five years from date of examination. The period may be prolonged by participating in a special update course (no new examination required, alternatively, participate in a new examination test without update course).
