Candidates who successfully pass the CyberSec First Responder™ exam will have 3 years from the date of certification to recertify. Candidates will have 2 options between which to choose:

1. Retake the most recent version of the exam before their certification expires.
2. Earn and submit enough continuing education credits (CECs) to recertify without retaking the exam.

• Candidates must earn a total of 90 CECs within 3 years of certifying to successfully recertify without retaking the exam. 

• Candidates must earn at least 30 CECs within each 1-year period during the 3-year certification cycle. 

• Candidates who elect to recertify through continuing education activities will incur a $50 annual fee for recertification, which equates to a $150 payment for each certification cycle (subject to change). 

• To enroll in the continuing education program, candidates will be required to pay at minimum the $50 fee upon submission of their first continuing education activities to Logical Operations. Continuing education fees are non-refundable.

For some activity types, credits will be issued as a fixed value based on the specific activity within that type. For example, one industry certification might be worth 10 continuing education credits while another is worth 15, and some publication types, like blogs, will be worth fewer continuing education credits than, say, publishing a peer-reviewed article. Other activities, however, may be based on hours in session or in class. Regardless of how continuing education credits are issued, the total number of continuing education credits that can be earned in a particular certification cycle will be limited to the caps in the table above and only the identified number of instances of each activity type may be submitted.

The following table describes the method of assigning continuing education credits for each activity type:
