Your renewal cycles

Applies to: All plans · Last updated October 8, 2026

Each certification you are maintaining has a renewal cycle: a window, a requirement and the credit counted toward it so far.

Set up a renewal cycle

  1. In Profile → Credentials, select Set up renewal on the certification.
  2. Enter the cycle’s start and end dates and the credits it requires.
  3. If you have already earned credit, enter the total your certifying body’s portal shows. You can also add the body’s transcript as proof.

Open a cycle

Select a certification on the Command Center timeline, or select Cycle next to it in your credentials. The cycle page shows:

  • The path to the requirement (for example “Path to 120”): credit recorded by the certifying body, submitted, ready, planned and identified, against the total needed.
  • Audit readiness: how completely the credit you are relying on is documented.
  • The claims list, where each claim’s Move to menu changes its status.
  • Submission & audit package, which prints to PDF and has Download evidence (ZIP).

Certifications that renew by exam

Some certifications renew by passing the current exam or an assessment. They show “Renew by passing the exam” with the expiry date and have no credits to plan.

Good to know

  • Reminder emails warn you before a cycle ends while it is still short of its requirement. Choose which reminders you get in Profile → Notifications.
  • CE fees are tracked too, with a reminder before the cycle ends.
