JRut:

Across the Mississippi the state of MO uses NFHS Part I in the "certification" process when you first register to become an official in MO. Then MO uses Part II as a refresher for all officials that is to be completed sometime in Jan.

We don't have different "levels" like IL does. Licensed, registered, certified is all the same. I think our official term is "registered".

To Simplify the MO process it's:

New guy:
$Fee
Part I (Sept ???)
State approved mechanics
State Rules meeting
Part II test in Jan

First 3 years:

$Fee
State approved mechanics
State Rules meeting
Part II in Jan

Therafter:

$Fee
State Rules meeting
Part II in Jan

A local association may have other requirements above and beyond.
