Important Update: Certiport and their clients adding expiration dates to certifications.
Certiport, the leading provider of official, industry-recognized certifications, is dedicated to delivering the highest quality experience to our customers. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce that expiration dates have started to be added to most our certification programs throughout the Summer of 2025.
This update is designed to:
- Ensure the skills and knowledge validated by certification are always up to date.
- Ensure continued alignment to industry standards and current technologies.
- Increase credibility and drive additional value for certified individuals.
Expiration periods began appearing on certifications on June 18, 2025.
Test Candidates who have earned a certification before this date will see no change to their current certifications, nor will they expire. After this date, Test Candidates will start to see expiration information appear on our website and on their certificates.
Please note, Cisco Certified Support Technician expiration dates will be implemented on July 15, 2025, with IC3 Digital Literacy, Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS), and Microsoft Certified Educator (MCE) following on September 1, 2025, with additional reminders sent via newsletter at that time.
For most programs, the validity period will extend five years before they expire with some noted exceptions:
- Adobe Certified Professional will continue to expire after three years.
- Meta Certified Digital Marketing Associate will continue to expire after two years.
- Microsoft Fundamentals will not implement an expiration policy on their exams.
