CompTIA provides a three-year window from the date you earn or renew your certification to complete the Continuing Education (CE) Program requirements and maintain your certification. While we don’t offer a renewal grace period to complete additional CE activities, we do provide a 90-day grace period after your certification expiration date to help you finalize any outstanding requirements.
Here are some important details about the 90-day grace period:
- Once your certification expires, you can activate the 90-day grace period. This allows you 90 days from the original expiration date to pay any outstanding CE fees and/or submit your earned CEUs.
- Please note that the grace period does not allow extra time to complete additional CE activities or earn more CEUs. All CEUs must be earned within your original three-year renewal period.
- Unfortunately, no additional time can be granted beyond the 90-day grace period, and exceptions cannot be made.
Please note: Earning another CompTIA certification or completing CertMaster CE during the grace period will not renew your expired certification(s).
