The Intelligence Fundamentals Professional Certification (IFPC) credential is conferred for a three (3) year period; certificants will receive an email notice three (3) months prior to the expiration date of their certification reminding them that recertification is soon required.  The certificant can renew their IFPC credential using one of the following options:

1. IFPC certificants may choose to re-take the IFPC exam.  Those who re-take the IFPC exam and pass, will automatically extended their credential for another three (3) years.
2. IFPC certificants may choose to obtain USD(I&S)-conferred or -recognized intelligence tradecraft certification.  IFPC certificants who receive a USD(I&S)-conferred or -recognized intelligence tradecraft certification will have their IFPC credential renewed on the same date the secondary certification is conferred. 

In order to re-certify by obtaining another USD(I&S)-recognized intelligence tradecraft certification, IFPC certificants are responsible for updating and maintaining their candidate profile in the candidate management system, Learning Builder.  To do so, please follow the steps outlined below.
