Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Why do certifications expire?
Certifications expire because frameworks, technologies, and best practices evolve constantly. Expiration ensures that certified professionals stay current with industry standards and continue developing their skills. This maintains the value and credibility of the certification in the job market.
How can I renew my certification?
You can renew your certification by accumulating Professional Update Credits (PUCs) through work experience, training courses, or professional development activities. Before your certification expires, submit your renewal application through the CertMind platform with the required PUCs documented.
What happens if my certification expires?
If your certification expires, you will need to go through the recertification process, which typically involves retaking the exam. We recommend starting your renewal process well before the expiration date to avoid any gaps in your certified status.
Can I take the exam in my native language?
Yes, CertMind offers exams in both English and Spanish. You can choose your preferred language when scheduling your exam. All study materials and syllabi are also available in both languages to support your preparation.
How is AI included in the 2026 Scrum syllabus?
The 2026 syllabus keeps Scrum as the core framework and adds AI as an applied competency: agent-assisted work, clear specifications, output validation, human accountability, and practices for integrating AI without losing empiricism, transparency, or adaptation.
