Recent Changes to CompTIA's Certification Framework
As of January 1, 2011, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and CompTIA Security+ certifications will only be valid for three years from the date you become certified. An expiration date will now appear on all certificates and CompTIA ID cards. After three years, the certification can be renewed by passing the most current exam for a respective certification or by participating in the new continuing education program. In today’s IT environment it’s important for IT professionals to demonstrate that their knowledge and skills are current. CompTIA’s new renewal program includes a continuing education component that gives eligible certification holders a range of ways to keep their CompTIA certifications current without necessarily having to take a new exam.
