    I do not see a time limit in the regulations. After all, the knowledge is intended to be somewhat permanent. However, there are changes in regulations, the AIM, standards, and practices over time, and one should be continually updating their knowledge. So if it has been much more than a few months, getting an update on areas that may have changed in the mean time is the smart thing to do, whether it is required or not.
