Once completed, the certification is perpetual and will not require recertification.

Are there other instructional certifications that can be used?  The CompTIA CTT+ Classroom Trainer certification is a robust instructional certification. However, Unity recognizes that there are other trainer and instructional programs that hold an equally high level of rigor and will therefore accept any of the following certifications in lieu of the CompTIA CTT+:  Government granted instructional or teacher certification, Microsoft Certified Trainer, Autodesk Certified Instructor, Adobe Certified Instructor, CISCO Certified Trainer.

Are there costs associated with getting certified? – Unity provides the exams at no cost for any required certifications.  The CompTIA Classroom Trainer certification is a combination of costs for a computer-based exam and evaluation of a teaching video submission which retail for over $600 USD (regional pricing offered).  The Unity Certified Programmer and Unity Certified 3D Artist retails for $249 (regional pricing offered).
