Get Certified for Life

Get certified for life! Join the exclusive ranks of the permanently certified CompTIA professionals and save yourself time and money. CompTIA is changing its certification policy. Until recently, CompTIA has adopted a “Certify for Life” policy. This means once you earned your CompTIA certification, you were not required to renew it, ever.
Starting Jan 1, 2011, this will change. Those that get certified in CompTIA’s certification exam starting the new year will need to renew their certifications every 3 years to retain their certification.

If you have been planning to get CompTIA certified and want it to be a lifetime certification, you still have time. Get certified by Dec 31, 2010 and earn your lifetime certification.

Per CompTIA, if you are already certified in CompTIA’s A+, Network+ or Security+ exams, you will retain your “certified for life” status with no requirement to recertify or retest. Alternatively, get certified before Dec 31, 2010 to get the “certified for life” status.



FAQ
1. Why is CompTIA changing its “certified for life” policy?
Tthe new policy allows CompTIA to maintain their accreditation with internationally accepted standards for assessing personnel certification programs (ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024). The new policy is a way to assure employers that CompTIA certified professionals are staying current with technology.

2. I earned my CompTIA A+ certification two years ago. Do I need to get re-certified?
No. If you earned any CompTIA certification in the past or by Dec 31, 2010, you are certified for life by CompTIA.

3. What happens if I don’t get certified by Dec 31, 2010?
If you don’t earn your CompTIA certification by this date, you will need to renew your certification three years from the date your passed your certification exam.

4. What is the process for renewing my certification if I get certified next year?
If you get certified in CompTIA A+, Network+, or Security+ exams on or after Jan 1, 2011, you will need to renew your certification three years from the date you passed your certification, in order to retain it. You may retake the exam completely or complete Continuing Education (CE) units. The number of CE units required for renewal depends on the exam. For example, for a candidate to renew CompTIA A+ requires 20 CE units; to renew CompTIA Network+, 30 CE units; and to renew CompTIA Security+, 50 CE units.


5. How will a prospective employer know if I have a lifetime certification (or not)?
Starting Jan 1, 2011, CompTIA will launch ANSI accredited versions of their A+, Network+, and Security+ certification exams. The new programs will have a notation on the certificates: CompTIA A+ CE, CompTIA Network+ CE and CompTIA Security+ CE.  CE stands for Continuing Education, and your certificate will carry a ‘valid through <Date>’, that is three years from the date of your certification.

6. Are the CE exams different than the current CompTIA exams?
No, the exams currently remain the same. There is no change in content or the corresponding objectives.

Oracle’s 14 day retake policy on Sun Certification

Oracle certifications have traditionally followed a 14 day retake policy on failed certification attempts. With the transition from Sun to Oracle, all Oracle-branded Sun exams now follow Oracle’s retake policy which requires a 14-day wait before retaking a failed exam.

This retake policy of Oracle applies to the  exams delivered at Pearson VUE, Prometric, and Oracle Testing Centers.  However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Exams that do not follow this policy are exams 1Z0-007, 1Z0-051, 1Z0-200, 1Z0-204, 310-252 and 310-301. These  non-proctored exams may be retaken at any time with no minimum wait period. Beta exams may not be taken more than once, and passed exams may not be taken more than once.
There is a major benefit to the policy adoption for Sun exams. In the past, Sun certification candidates were limited to three attempts per calendar year for a single Sun based certification. With Oracle’s policy, candidates are no longer limited to three attempts for Java, Oracle Solaris (Cluster), MySQL, NetBeans and OpenOffice.org exams.

A note about vouchers. According to the voucher policy, If you have a voucher tha allows a retake, schedule your first attempt well before 15 days prior to the voucher expiration. This will allow you sufficient time for another retake before the voucher expires.
Note: The voucher expiration date that was communicated in your voucher email supercedes the Registration Expiration Date communicated by Prometric in your exam registration confirmation email.
No exceptions will be made  to the retake policy, and no replacement vouchers will be provided for candidates who do not allow enough time for the retake waiting period.
