What is the term for the process of extending the validity of certification?

The term "Renewal of Certification" accurately describes the process of extending the validity of a certification. This process typically involves meeting specific requirements set by the certifying authority, which may include continuing education, demonstration of ongoing competency, or adherence to ethical standards. Renewal ensures that individuals maintain their qualifications and stay updated with any changes or developments in their field. It is a critical procedure that helps uphold the integrity of the certification and assures clients and employers that the certified individual continues to meet the standards initially set for their certification.

While other terms may refer to related concepts, they do not represent the formal process of extending certification validity as clearly as "Renewal of Certification" does.
