Renewal Deadlines
Recertification applications with necessary completed CEUs and full fee payments are accepted and on time if submitted as early as 90 days prior to certification expiration and no later than the actual expiration date.

Late applications for NESTA PFT recertification will be accepted by the NESTA ECB
between 1-90 days after expiration. Late applications will require an additional $25 fee
every 30 days late up to 90 days. After 90 days following certification expiration, NESTA
PFT certification will be null and void. Formerly certified NESTA PFTs who fail to comply
with recertification policies and procedures will be required to retake the PFT exam to be
certified and recognized by NESTA and the NESTA ECB.

Recertification Fee: $149 (between 90-1 day(s) prior to expiration)
Late Application Fee: $25 (between 1-30 days late)
$50 (between 31-60 days late)
