Hello North Star Community,
This is a reminder that the deadline to complete or renew your 2026 North Star Cybersecurity Certification is September 30, 2026.
If you are completing your initial certification, renewing, or submitting Continuing Education Units (CEUs) toward your renewal, keep in mind that processing takes additional time during this peak period. Please submit all questions and CEU requests well in advance to avoid any lapse in your status. All requests are handled strictly in order of receipt, so we strongly encourage you not to wait until the last minute.
To review your options and requirements, more information is offered on the Pathways Flyer or on our program website: https://northstarcert.americassbdc.org/training
Please note: North Star will not have a formal presence at the upcoming ASBDC Training Event. However, any eligible training you complete during that event may count toward your 2027 CEU Certificate. For any cyber training completed at the ASBDC Training Event, you will need proof of attendance and a summary of the content covered. Additional details regarding plans for North Star Certification in 2027 will be shared soon.
Thank you for your continued efforts to sharpen your cybersecurity knowledge and protect small businesses across the nation.
