Once a PTCB CPhT earns the CSPT® certification, the CSPT certification expiration month will align with the CPhT Certification.
If the CSPT credential is earned within six months of a CPhT certification expiration date, the certificant must recertify the CSPT credential one year after the CPhT certification expiration date.
Example:
| EARNED CSPT | WITHIN EXPIRATION DATE | CPhT or CPhT-Adv EXPIRATION DATE | CSPT EXPIRATION DATE |
| January 31, 2023 | 6 months | April 30, 2023 | April 30, 2024 |
| January 31, 2023 | 6-18 months | August 31, 2024 | August 31, 2024 |
| January 31, 2023 | More than 18 months | October 31, 2024 | October 31, 2023 |
Your CSPT certification expiration date will be the same month and day every year you renew your CSPT certification.
