Cisco Continuing Education Program
Lifelong learning
The Cisco Continuing Education Program offers all active certification holders’ flexible options to recertify by completing a variety of eligible training items. Learn more about how you can recertify via Continuing Education to retain your certification’s active status by doing things the certified professionals’ community already love to do: learn, keep skills sharp and evolve with the technology.
Cisco Continuing Education Program principles
The Continuing Education program is intended to encourage candidates to maintain, grow, and diversify skillsets by offering flexible, configurable pathways to validate skills and recertify existing certifications. This will result in IT professionals bringing value to their organization and the industry by maintaining their status as a Cisco professional.
Flexibility
Cisco certified individuals can choose from multiple options to recertify in addition to passing relevant exam(s).
Diversity
Select from a variety of pre-approved Continuing Education items, including online courses, instructor led trainings, select Cisco Live trainings, and authoring test questions to earn credits towards recertification.
Integrity
Cisco diligently curates the Continuing Education offerings, assigns credit value and enforces a rigorous credit validation process.
What is Cisco Continuing Education Program?
The Cisco Continuing Education Program is a recertification option for all active Associate, Specialist, Professional, and Expert level certified individuals.
Continuing Education can be applied in two recertification pathways:
- Completing eligible items to earn the credits required for recertification
- Passing an eligible exam in combination with completing eligible items required for recertification.
Or, as applicable
Continuing Education requirements
Recertification requirements must be met prior to the certification expiration date. Individuals with expired certification(s) must recertify by examination to earn active certification status. Recertification can occur at any time during the active period by advancing to the next level of certifications, earning continuing education credits, or a combination of both.
| Certification level & duration | Continuing Education only | Combination of Continuing Education & Exam |
| Associate - 3 years | Earn 30 CE credits | |
| Specialist - 3 years | Earn 40 CE credits | |
| Professional - 3 years | Earn 80 CE credits |
|
| CCIE – 3 years | Earn 120 CE credits |
|
| CCDE – 3 years | Earn 120 CE credits |
