To maintain Salesforce certification credentials, all certified professionals must successfully complete three online, release-specific exams within a 12-month period. Release exams are published in conjunction with major product releases (Winter, Spring, and Summer).http://certification.salesforce.com/schedulesThree times a year (winter, spring, and summer), Salesforce releases new system feature updates. In accordance with these updates, all certified professionals are required to maintain their certification by taking a maintenance exam every release cycle. Release cycles are about four months in length, and each release exam is available for two release cycles (about eight months). Refer to the schedule page on the Certification website for details regarding release exam completion deadlines: http://certification.salesforce.com/schedules. When the release exams are published you will receive an email with all the necessary details. If you do not pass the release exam by its deadline, all credentials maintained by that exam will expire, or in some cases become suspended. You will not be required to take the release exam for the same release cycle in which you first earned your credential. For example, if you were certified in Spring '14 your first release exam will be for Summer '14.Earning a higher-level credential does not exempt you from having to take a release exam.
