NASM states the CES credential does not require renewal and does not expire once the exam is passed. CES is an advanced specialization, not an NCCA-accredited certification, and it is not listed among the credentials on NASM's Recertification and Renewal requirements page (which covers NASM-CPT, PTC, ICPT, AFAA credentials, CWC, CNC, CSNC — all on 2-year cycles).
