CE must be obtained during the 3-year certification period. You must accrue all your CE by Oct 1, but your CE accrual start date is tailored to you! Your Certification Date for renewal by CE is based on your last certification type and date. If you last:

• Recertified by CE: If later than October 1, your Certification Date = October 1
• Certified by Exam: Your Certification Date is the actual date you certified.

CE accrued prior to passing the exam or after Oct 1, 2025, is not accepted.
