Your certification renewal requirements include annual Continuing Education (CE) fees. Your payment due dates are based upon your CE cycle dates and not a calendar year.
You can pay for one, two or all three years at one time. Please note that you will need to pay your CE fee prior to renewing your Certification(s).
If you hold multiple CompTIA certifications, you only need to pay the CE fees for the highest level certification you wish to renew. See more details regarding renewing multiple CompTIA certifications.
