If the certification expires after a certain amount of time from the date the partner team member got it, you can specify expiration fields as follows:

* **Validity period**: Number of months the certification is valid from the day it is acquired by a partner team member.
* **Expiration reminder email template**: *(Optional)* The email sent to the partner team member when the certification is about to expire. If empty, the partner team member won't be notified.
* **Expiration reminder days**: The number of days to send the reminder notification to the partner team member before the certification expires.
* **Certification expired email template:** *(Optional)* The email sent to the partner team member the day the certification expires. If empty, the partner team member won't be notified.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Recommandations**

Even if reminder and expired email templates are optional, we recommend configuring emails if the certification expires to ensure partners know they have to renew the certification.
{% endhint %}

**Example:** The following certification is valid for 1 year and the partner team member is notified 1 month before the expiration.

Finally, click the **Add** button and that's it! You've created the new certification.

Now you can give this certification to partner team members following these steps: [How to give certifications to partners?](/partner-enablement/certifications/how-to-give-certifications-to-partners.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-vnext.kiflo.com/partner-enablement/certifications/how-to-create-a-certification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
