Deadline rule
Must be registered for a recertification option prior to the current expiration date shown on the instructor profile page; otherwise the credential is expired and only re-attendance options apply.

SFG credential is valid two years. Recertification is by re-testing physical skills, not continuing education units. Options: attend your next StrongFirst Certification, apply for onsite recertification at a Special Event (often included at no additional cost for currently certified instructors), apply to assist at a StrongFirst Certification (no tuition), or use the Online Recertification platform (eligibility rules apply). Unified Recertification lets multiple modalities be recertified at one event for one price; SFG I recertification testing = SFG I skills + snatch test. Instructors holding all four certifications (StrongFirst Elite) receive a three-year expiration when passing the Elite Unified Recertification. Expired instructors may re-attend a previously held certification ($750, proof of expired certification required; online recert and cert-assistant paths not eligible) or register for a new certification at current price.
