CompTIA uses PayPal for CE fee payment processing, and you can pay in one of two ways:
Note: You do not need a PayPal account to pay with a credit or debit card.
Log in to your certification account to see your balance and pay your CE fee now.
You do not need to pay CE fees if you choose one of these renewal options:
Note: CE Fees are not waived if the higher-level CompTIA certification does not fully renew the lower-level certification.
You’ll only need to pay the CE fees for your highest-level CompTIA certification. When you renew a higher-level certification, your lower-level certifications will automatically renew without paying additional fees.
Note: CE Fees are not waived if the higher-level CompTIA certification does not fully renew the lower-level certification.
Department of Defense (DoD) components and qualifying enterprise-level organizations may purchase bulk tokens from CompTIA that can be used by employees to pay their annual CE fees. For more information, email cetokensdod@comptia.org.
