CompTIA Certifications Good-for-Life (GFL)
Some CompTIA certifications are considered Good-for-Life (GFL), meaning they do not need to be renewed and will never expire. However, these certifications are based on the exam objectives at the time they were earned and may not reflect the most current industry standards.
Note: If you earned a CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ or CompTIA Security+ certification prior to January 1, 2011, the certification is considered GFL and does not expire.
