A + certifications are valid for three years from the date of passing the certification exam. CompTIA also offers a continuing education program to extend certifications for additional three-year periods. It is important to note that 900 series trials were released in December 2015, and CompTIA generally retires a series approximately three years after launch as a way to keep up with emerging technologies network+ job opportunities.
This likely means that a new series will be announced sometime in late 2018 or early 2019. While obtaining certification in the current series will continue to pay benefits and will be recognized by employers, obtaining certification in the new series once available will be considered a stronger credential.
If you're ready to get certified now, it makes sense to continue with the current series. But if you decide to get certified later, check to see if a new series is available.
