Hello, @AnneB8.
I'll share some information about QuickBooks Online certification.
Every year, we update the QuickBooks Online certification course.
When we update the QuickBooks Online certification course, the new version completely replaces the previous one, unlike the QuickBooks Desktop certification course. When the new version is released, all the incomplete work you had done on the prior one will be gone.
We'll email you in advance if a new version is about to be released while you are still taking a certification exam.
You can check for the Frequently Asked Questions about ProAdvisor training and certification to learn more about it.
Know that you're always welcome to post a reply in this thread if you have any other questions about QuickBooks Online certification. I'll be here ready to assist you.
