CompTIA Continuing Education Program

Effective January 1, 2011, all new CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ certifications will be valid for three years from the date the candidate is certified. After three years, the certification must be renewed. This can be done by passing the most current exam for a respective certification or by participating in CompTIA's new continuing education program, which will allow individuals to keep their skills current and their certification up to date without retesting.

The CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) Program has been designed to allow individuals a cost-effective method for keeping certifications current through the completion of variety of activities that demonstrate relevant industry knowledge.

To ensure you have a complete understanding of the CE program requirements prior to beginning the CE process, it is highly recommended that you download and review the FAQ information below.
