BICSI Credential Renewal
Why Recertification Matters
Skills that are not maintained become inconsistent, and inconsistent execution creates risk.
BICSI recertification confirms that your knowledge, performance, and practices remain current. It signals to employers and clients that your certification reflects real capability.
Maintaining your certification protects your role, your reputation, and the credibility you bring to every project.
BICSI certifications follow a defined renewal cycle.
To maintain your certification, you must:
- Complete the required BICSI ethics course during each recertification cycle
- Earn Continuing Education Credits (CECs)
- Track progress during your certification period
- Submit requirements and renewal fees before your renewal deadline
Recertification ensures continued alignment with evolving industry standards and practices.
CECs demonstrate continued learning and active engagement in the industry.
To qualify:
- Activities must be at least .25 of an hour in length
- Activities must relate to BICSI certification disciplines
- Activities must be completed within your certification cycle
- Proof of participation is required
CECs confirm that your skills remain current and relevant.
Ways to Earn CECs
You can earn CECs through a range of approved activities:
- BICSI webinars, live or on demand
- Virtual ICT forums and industry events
- Training through BICSI Connect
- Preapproved vendor courses
- Safety and OSHA training
These options support ongoing learning without disrupting your work.
