Hello there, Gretel.
Welcome aboard to the QuickBooks Community. I'm here to provide information about the ProAdvisor Certification program.
The QuickBooks Desktop Advanced Certification training modules and exam will be discontinued effective December 31, 2018. Certified users will continue to have the Advanced Certification status extended for three years.
The extension will start in January 2019 and will remain active until January 1, 2022. For more information about the discontinuation, please visit the article I've attached below (scroll-down to QuickBooks Desktop Advanced Certification Discontinuation FAQ):
