Deadline rule

CEUs and renewal submission must be completed before the certification expiration date listed in the Student Portal; may renew up to one year early (new period begins from original expiration date). One-year grace period after expiration with a late fee; after one year, full course re-enrollment required.

General ISSA recertification policy: certifications are valid for 2 years; renew by completing 20 CEUs, maintaining current CPR/AED, and submitting renewal in the Student Portal (3-5 business days processing). Standard $99 renewal fee may be waived if all 20 CEUs are completed through ISSA; 'Certify for Life' option eliminates future renewal fees. Extra CEUs cannot be carried over to the next period. CPR/AED must be valid at least 30 days beyond submission date. Lifespan Coach product page does not state credential-specific renewal terms; ISSA-wide policy applied.
