BMS page states "Lifetime Certificate: Certificate does not expire" and "Lifetime access to online training," so no recertification cycle or renewal fee is described for this specialist credential. Completion is recommended within one year of purchase ($95 retest fee after 3 failed exam attempts). The 4-year/4.0 CEU recertification cycle and $149 fee in the evidence apply to the separate NESTA PFT certification, not to BMS.
