Recertification Opportunities

Congratulations! You have earned one of GVU’s prestigious certifications! To keep your certification current, you must accrue the needed Union Development Units (UDU) credits every (One ) year or retake the GVF exam every (One) year.
There are many ways to earn UDU credits and you will naturally do so as you continue to learn and contribute to the related-verse technologies and rewards communities.
The best value: Take advantage of opportunities through GVU and you will earn more UDU credits – plus, we will automatically track and list them for you in your member profile.
Read on to see all your options for keeping your certification up to date.
Why Get a Second Certification?
- Courses and exams for new certifications earn UDU credits to recertify current ones.
- Because courses for one certification may apply to others, you may already be close to earning new bona fides.
- When you earn an additional certification, all your recertification deadlines are extended automatically to the latest date possible, saving you money and time.
See how close you are to a new certification.
