How Do I Get a Copy of My CompTIA Certification?

What happens if you need verification of your CompTIA certification(s) for a job application, for your resume, or to submit to a potential client? Through your CompTIA certification account (login here if you have one) CompTIA provides two ways to provide proof of your certs:

  • Download a PDF Certificate: You can download a PDF certificate that contains a URL and verification code that can be used to authenticate your certification.

  • Create a Transcript: You can create a customized certification transcript which will be sent by email to a designated recipient.

CompTIA Recertification and Renewal

CompTIA certifications earned since 2011 are valid for three years from the date of original certification. They must be renewed before their expiration date. CompTIA recertification and renewal comes under the auspices of the CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) program. You must be enrolled in that program to renew a certification.

There are a number of ways to renew a certification. You can simply recertify by paying for, and taking, the most recent version of the relevant CompTIA certification exam(s). Here are some of the other ways to renew a CompTIA certification:

  • Complete a CompTIA CertMaster CE course. CertMaster CE e-learning courses are available for A+, Network+, and Security+. When you complete the course, you'll automatically earn Continuing Education Units (CEU) for the exam in your CompTIA certification account. CertMaster CE e-learning courses cost between $129 and $199.

  • Earn a higher-level CompTIA certification. If you earn or renew a qualifying higher-level CompTIA certification, your existing CompTIA certifications are renewed.

  • Earn a non-CompTIA IT industry certification. If you earn or renew a qualifying non-CompTIA IT industry certification, you'll earn Continuing Education Units (CEU) that can apply toward the renewal requirements for your existing CompTIA certification. For example, earning a Cisco CCNA Security cert gives you the 50 CEUs you need for CompTIA Security+ certification renewal.

  • Earn other CEUs. You can earn CEUs to apply to recertification through a number of different avenues. These include taking training and higher education, participating in IT Industry activities, publishing articles or white papers, or even submitting relevant work experience.

Is a CompTIA Certification a Lifetime Certification?

As of January 1, 2011, CompTIA ended lifetime certifications. CompTIA certifications earned since that date are valid for three years only and are then subject to renewal and recertification as described above.

CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ or CompTIA Security+ certifications earned before 2011 are considered good-for-life (GFL) and do not expire. Note that GFL certs are not valid for CompTIA stackable certifications. If you want to bring your certification current, you'll need to pass the current version of the exam. You'll then have two certs: your GFL certification and the new CE one.
