CompTIA CEs:

There are several CompTIA certifications, that require renewal after three years from the date of certification. You can renew your certification by earning continuing education units (CEUs), by taking the next version up of the existing certification (i.e CANDIDATE holds SYS-301 and takes SYS-401) or by getting additional certifications as outlined on each certification table above.

If you were certified prior to January 1, 2011, your certification(s) are considered “good for life” (GFL) and do not expire. If you opted to enroll in the CE Program, you have three years from the date you enrolled in the CE program to meet the CE program requirements. Completing the CE requirements prior to the end of the three year enrollment period does not extend your new cycle three years from your original enrollment expiration date; the new cycle extends three years from the date that you earned the “CE” designation.

If you need to renew multiple CompTIA certifications, some higher-level CompTIA certifications will automatically renew lower-level certifications (shown in their respective order, highest-level to lowest-level, in the chart below.)

CERTIFICATION CEUs REQUIRED FOR RENEWAL
CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) 75
CompTIA Storage+ 50
CompTIA Security+ 50
CompTIA Network+ 30
CompTIA A+ 20

 

If you have questions on the renewal process and/or the right path for you, contact an Infotec Education Consultant and they can assist in creating the right plan for you.
