Are Project+ and Server+ changing from "good for life" to CE certifications?

    There are multiple threads on Reddit (I know I really shouldn't keep visiting that site) that claim CompTIA has sent out notices that Project+ and Server+ are changing from "good for life" certifications to CE certifications on October 1, 2025. I personally did not receive any notification, nor can I find any reference to it outside of Reddit.

    Can anyone definitively confirm or deny this claim?

    I never saw any e-mails on that either. But I would not be surprised by the move. I can see a CE requirement for Project+, as things tend to shift in the world of PM. Server+...well, perhaps not as pervasive unless we wanted to focus more on virtual server technology, rather than on-prem servers. But then, that would cross over into Cloud+, which is a CE cert already.

    I am ok with that. Maybe there will be a ProjectX Cert or Server+ will run out, as others before..
     
    I doubt we'll see a "ProjectX" - mostly because it would collide heavily with the PMI certs. People might assume it's on par with the PMP.

    I know Server+ has teetered on the edge of "stay or go". Basically, it's there to fill in that role for on-prem environments - maybe dipping its toes in the private cloud space.
