Recertification
F5 Certifications are valid for two years. Three months before your certification expires, you will receive an email alerting you to your upcoming certification expiration and encouraging you to register for your recertification exam.
The inactive date is exactly two years from the active date, which is the date you achieved certification. If you pass the inactive date without recertifying, you are no longer certified; however, you have a 30 day grace period beyond your inactive date to reactivate your certification. The expired date for your certification is at the end of the 30 day grace period.
