Your facts may differ — run your exact pair

If your certification is lapsed, or your training hours differ from the Colorado standard, your verdict changes. An inactive home certification transfers nowhere — fix it at home first.

Can I work in a new state?

It is on your training certificate. Most state programs run 75 to 160 hours.
