You can subscribe to our <A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/esri-technical-certification-program-information/esri-exam-retirement-schedule/ba-p/1354902" target="_self">Exam Retirement Schedule</A> article to receive notifications when we add new exams versions that are pending retirement.&nbsp;</P><P>When you purchase an exam voucher, you have a year from the date of purchase to leverage the exam code on the Pearson VUE website to register for and take any exam we offer at that time. You do not need to take the exam right away when you buy a voucher.
