QBO Certificatoin is going to be on hold until 2018 while they update the test. From their wierdly worded email: In service to creating the best Certification experience for you, we are working on a significantly improved QuickBooks Online Certification, which will be available in early 2018.

As a result, we have paused expirations for ProAdvisors who completed the current QuickBooks Online Certification exam on or after its release on October 21, 2016. When the new exam is released we will provide a minimum of 90 days to complete, with an expected completion requirement in July of 2018.

We will provide more details as we prepare to release the new Certification. If you meet the criteria above, there are no immediate actions you need to take to maintain your Certification status and ProAdvisor benefits.
