So take a class, get your permit with a few months and it is good for 5 years, with a renewal/new-card at 5 years- and the original training class should cover the second five year. After 10 years from the initial permit, you start over again. New class, new permit.

Did I sniff too much glue making models as a kid? Is it just a renewal after 5 years, and you only have to take a class for the initial permit?

No talking about next year, talking about now.
Correct. Training certs are good for 10 yrs, renewal every 5.
