Duration of Certification

Provides details on certification duration, including time-limited status for post-1986 certifications and annual Continuing Certification requirements.


 

All certificates by ABOG after 1986 are:

  1. Time-limited
  2. Remain only in effect if the diplomate participates in and successfully completes a continuous certification process each year


 

If you're an Active Candidate - meaning you've passed the Qualifying Exam but haven't yet taken the Certifying Exam - you are not required to participate in the Continuing Certification process.
