You have to be retested if your license expires? Different.

When we pass the exams for the various licenses here, you are issued with a
"Certificate of Proficiency", and you quote the certificate number(s) when
you
apply for a license. The certificates are good for life. I have 2, 1 for
Novice
(similar to yours I think) and 1 for Limited. (sorta like Technician?)
Different system. I did morse _at_ 5wpm to get my novice, Limited is same as
full call, minus morse, so I only need morse _at_ 10wpm to get my full license.
(Full call is the top of the list - we don't have extra class or anything
like it)
You only need a retest if you have had your license/certificate cancelled
for
some reason, (and usually not even then - it's an option they can throw at
you)
or some (detected!) major on air stuffup.
