(c) Operators who desire to become certified in a higher grade must satisfactorily complete the requirements before the certificate is issued.

(d)(1) Certificates shall be valid only so long as the holder uses reasonable care, judgment and application of such holder's knowledge in the performance of such holder's duties.

(2) No certificate will be valid if obtained through fraud, deceit or the submission of inaccurate data on qualifications.
