You will be issued an NSE certification badge and certificate on July 15th, 2026, for each active FCP/FCSS certification you currently hold. The awarded NSE certification is based on the exams you have passed, regardless of when the exam was taken, since it depends on certifications that are still valid. The expiration date of your NSE certification will match that of your current FCP/FCSS certification.
