Renewal & Upgrade

The ABDE™ certification needs to be mandatorily renewed every three years to continue the qualification and keep the ABDE™ credential current. ABDE™ certification can also be upgraded to SBDE™ in accordance to the SBDE™ candidacy norms applicable at the time of upgrade. DASCA sends reminder emails for renewal or upgrade and you can log into myDASCA dashboard and register for ABDE™ renewal or for upgrade to SBDE™.

Please note that no additional training or assessment is mandated for renewal or upgrade of ABDE™. Certificants require to submit on their myDASCA dashboard, a declaration of their professional development and learning efforts every three years to maintain their ABDE™ credential. In certain cases, certificants may also be asked to submit documentary proofs to support the declaration they make at the time of renewal or upgrade.

ABDE™ credential-holders can either renew their current ABDE™ certification, or upgrade to the SBDE™ credential. Please refer to the ABDE™ Credential Renewal section, OR the ABDE™ Credential Upgrade to SBDE™ section below for details.
