  • If it follows the same mechanics as the ADM201, not refreshing PD1 would make PD2 expire

  • Do you pay 100$ yearly for the ADM201 refresh ? Yes. Is ADM201 required for other certifications for which you have to pay ? By analogy, it would be a yes for PD1 and PD2.

1.You don't have to pay anything for maintenance of certification(unless it is expired).

2.You can take Platform Developer II exam if your Platform Developer I certification is not expired and you have completed all the prerequisites.

3.If your Platform Developer I certification expires and you also hold the Platform Developer II certification, the Platform Developer II certification will be placed in a suspended state. You will then have one release cycle from the expiration date to re-certify as a Platform Developer I, at which point the suspended Platform Developer II certification will be reinstated.
