What is Recertification and Why is it Important?

Recertification is the process of renewing or revalidating a certification that has already been obtained. This process typically involves passing an examination or completing continuing education courses to demonstrate that the individual or organization still possesses the necessary knowledge and skills related to the certified area.

The purpose of recertification is to ensure that individuals and organizations maintain their expertise and stay current with industry developments, as well as to provide ongoing assurance to stakeholders that the certified individual or organization continues to meet the standards and requirements of the certification program.

Recertification periods can vary depending on the certification program, but they are typically required every 2-5 years. Some certifications may also require continuing education credits or other activities to be completed during the recertification period to maintain the certification status.
