CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) program

For a certified CompTIA® individual, CompTIA® offers several ways to maintain the professional certification that you’ve worked so hard for. This is done through the CompTIA® Continuing Education (CE) program.
Two Options
Instead of having you retake your exam every 3 years, CompTIA® has two main options to renew your certification for another full cycle: CompTIA® CertMaster courses and CompTIA® Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

CompTIA® CertMaster courses are a new way to recertify, and they consist of an online course that maps to several of the current exam objectives. These courses are currently offered for CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and CompTIA Security+ certification holders. A cost is associated with each course and, upon finishing the course, CompTIA® will renew your certification for another full 3-year cycle.

CompTIA® CEUs are a method of using your real-world, professional experience to gain units toward renewing your certification. Each certification is different and requires a different number of CompTIA® CEUs to fulfill the renewal requirements. To qualify, these units need to be earned during the 3 years that you hold the certification, be relevant to the objectives of the exam (at least 50% of content), and be properly documented to CompTIA® standards. There are several ways to earn these units, including but not limited to: passing CompTIA® exams, passing other industry exams (Cisco®, Microsoft®, etc.), acquiring work experience, attending webinars or conferences, and participating in CompTIA®’s special workshops.
