The Administrator, Advanced Administrator, Developer, Advanced Developer and System Architect certifications are valid for 3 years, after which that exam or a higher level exam would need to be passed to maintain the certification. For Associate exams passed before July 1, 2020, the Associate certification is valid for 5 years and the same logic as above exists. For Associate exams passed on or after July 1, 2020, there is no expiration date for the certification. Our new offering (which includes Analytics, 数据科学, Data Engineering, Architecture and Administration) does NOT have any prerequisites to test and the certifications do NOT expire.
