Here’s everything you need to know to renew your CompTIA certification.
Learn About the Continuing Education (CE) Program
Renewal Cycle: Your certification expires three years from the date you earn it and must be renewed before that expiration date. If you don’t know your expiration date, log in here.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): Each certification requires a certain number of CEUs for renewal. You earn CEUs by completing approved activities.
Continuing Education Fees: CE fees are required for renewal and must be paid prior to renewing your certification(s) unless you renew by earning a qualifying higher-level CompTIA certification or passing CertMaster CE.
Note: CE Fees are not waived if the higher-level CompTIA certification does not fully renew the lower-level certification.
Multiple CompTIA Certification Renewal: If you hold more than one CompTIA certification, you only need to meet the renewal requirements for your highest-level certification. When you renew your highest-level certification, your lower-level CompTIA certifications will automatically renew as well.
Choose Your Renewal Path
Renew with a Single Activity: You have a number of options for renewing your CompTIA certification by completing a single activity:
Renew with Multiple Activities: Alternatively, you can complete a combination of activities to earn the number of CEUs you need to renew your CompTIA certification.
