Certification expiration status
If you do not renew your certification before the expiration date, the certification status will change to expired.
This means the certification is no longer considered active.
However, your certificate page will remain accessible, even after expiration.
Regaining certification
You can regain an active certification by completing the renewal requirements.
This can be done by:
completing four courses related to the certification area, or
retaking the certification exam
Once completed, your certification validity will be restored.
