Cisco CCNA Exam Guide: Recertification Requirements
Overview
Earning your CCNA is a significant achievement in your networking career. But the journey doesn’t stop there. Staying certified requires understanding Cisco's recertification requirements. Let's explore how to keep your CCNA current.
Recertification Cycle
Cisco mandates that CCNAs recertify every three years. Many professionals advance to the CCNP during this period, but if you choose not to, you must still meet specific criteria to maintain your CCNA status. This ensures your networking knowledge remains relevant and your certification retains its value.
Recertification Options
As of March 2006, you have five options to recertify:
1. Retake the CCNA Exam
2. Pass the ICND Exam
3. Complete any 642 Series Exam
4. Pass any Cisco Qualified Specialist Exam (excluding Sales Specialist)
5. Complete any CCIE Written Qualification Exam
These options allow you to choose a path that fits your career goals, whether it's maintaining your CCNA or progressing to a Specialist, CCNP, or CCIE certification.
Staying Informed
Keeping up with Cisco's recertification requirements is vital. Regularly visit the "Learning and Events" section on Cisco’s website for updates. This proactive approach ensures your certification remains valid, as it will expire if not renewed. Make it a habit to check for any certification updates or changes.
By staying informed and fulfilling the necessary requirements, you protect the hard work you've invested in earning your CCNA.
