HashiCorp has launched its recertification program for certification holders, allowing them to renew their certifications six months before expiration. The new program offers different paths to recertification based on the type of HashiCorp Cloud Engineer certification held, including taking the same exam again or upgrading to a professional-level certification. The program also includes customer-focused features such as reminder emails and direct registration from the certification account, making it easier for credential holders to track and update their credentials. Additionally, HashiCorp has manually extended the lifespan of active, un-expired credentials to expire after March 2023 to mitigate any lapse in credential coverage.
