To comply with DoD 8570.01-M, the U.S. Department of Defense no longer recognizes CompTIA's good-for-life (GFL) certifications as of January 1, 2011. Certifications earned after December 31, 2010, are valid for three years from the certification date and are automatically enrolled in the CompTIA CE Program. To maintain compliance, you must complete the CE requirements as part of the program.
CE tokens
DoD components can purchase bulk tokens from CompTIA to cover employees' annual CE fees. To find out if you're eligible for a token, check with your manager or component POC. CE tokens do not expire and are non-refundable. A minimum purchase of 10 CE tokens is required per order, though some exceptions may apply.
Log in to your certification account to pay your CE fees now.
If you’re a component POC responsible for purchasing CE tokens for your employees, email cetokensdod@comptia.org for ordering information.
Certification verification for the Department of Defense (DoD)
You can verify your CompTIA certification status by downloading a PDF copy of your certificate or sharing a transcript of your certification(s).
