Renewal of a blaster license requires passing an exam.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for first renewal
• D. Sometimes true depending on jurisdiction

Answer: (B)

renewing a blaster license is not about taking another exam. The focus is on maintaining current competency through required refresher training and paying the renewal fee. In Kentucky, you typically prove you’ve completed the mandated refresher course or updated training and submit the renewal paperwork along with the fee. An exam is not part of the standard renewal process.

This is why the statement is not correct for renewal: you don’t have to pass a new test to renew—as long as you’ve stayed compliant with the refresher training requirements. If a license has lapsed or there have been major changes in regulations, different steps (including retraining or reassessment) might apply, but those are exceptions, not the usual renewal rule.
