The exam and renewal are the priced components in this record. Optional training may add cost, but RoleMath does not hold a dated commercial training price for this credential, so it is not priced below. Every shown figure is sourced and dated; a course is not the certification.

Keeping it current
This credential is valid for 3 years. Renewal model: Annual Maintenance Fee + earn CPE credits. You must earn 60 continuing-education credits per 3-year cycle (20/yr). Continuing-education credits are something you earn (often through activities you'd do anyway); the renewal/maintenance fee above is the amount paid to the certifying body.
A transparent 3-year estimate
Minimum 3-year ownership cost ≈ $654 — the exam ($249) plus renewal $405 over 3 years. This is a cost horizon, not a study-duration estimate; optional preparation materials and retakes are excluded.
This illustration adds only the cited exam and renewal components. It excludes retakes, optional preparation, and your time; no commercial training price is included. Your cost will differ.
No training row appears because RoleMath does not hold a dated commercial training price for this credential in this cost record. Price optional preparation separately if you want it.
