All certifications will now be updated by Veeam on a calendar year basis, rather than linking to Veeam Backup & Replication versions. Although the certification doesn’t have an expiration date, for compliance purposes, the ProPartner program will require partners to refresh their certifications every two years. This is regardless of when the new class/exam version is released; i.e., if a partner earns certification in May 2020, they are valid until May 2022.
