Certification expiry date: The day three years from when your certification was awarded. Note – If you pass a recertification requirement, the expiration and termination dates for your certifications will be reset to the date that you wrote the exam.
Certification termination date: The day your certification terminates if you do not successfully complete the recertification requirements within 6 months after your expiry date.
