Overview of Renewal Options
NBSTSA renews certification every four years. The date certification expires is printed clearly on your card and certificate.
Individuals renewing certification, before their expiration date, must submit the CST or CFA renewal application to NBSTSA and pay the established recertification fee. Upon satisfying renewal requirements, NBSTSA recertifies the individual and issues a new certification card and certificate.
Individuals can use the following methods to renew certification:
- Retake and pass the national certifying examination
- Earn & Submit Continuing Education credits
