Congratulations on passing the certification exams, @PT78. I'm here to share some details about the certification in QuickBooks.
QuickBooks Online (QBO) certificate is valid for a year. You'll need to recertify by June 30 every year to keep your certification current. This ensures that you stay updated with the latest developments in QBO. Please refer to this article for more information: Frequently Asked Questions about ProAdvisor Training and Certification.
As for QuickBooks Desktop, the products, and their versions keep changing and updating over time. As a result, the certification exams for each version also vary. When a new version is released, the previous year's exam is usually available for a few months. However, once an exam is discontinued, it becomes unavailable. This can result in the loss of any partial progress made on the exam or training modules. It's crucial to stay updated and take necessary action accordingly. Please refer to this article for more information: ProAdvisor certification course and exam updates.
