OffSec rewards the dedication of certification holders who invest in advancing their skills. By earning an additional OffSec certification, you not only expand your expertise but also qualify to extend the validity of your existing credential. This recognition ensures your achievements remain valued while showcasing your commitment to continuous growth in cybersecurity.

Certification Renewal Process

If you hold an OffSec certification and wish to renew it, you can do so by passing another OffSec certification exam that qualifies for renewal within the same category at the same level or higher. The renewed certification's validity will be extended for an additional three years from the date the qualifying certification is earned, provided that your current certification is still within its validity period at the time of passing the exam and you pay the Annual Maintenance Fee.
