What is the difference between a certification expiration and termination date?

A certification expiry date is the date three years after your certification was first awarded. You can still recertify your credentials while they are in an expired state. You must, however, recertify prior to your termination date.

A certification termination date is the date six months after your expiration date, at which point you must restart your certification track if you did not recertify before this date.
