Recertification is an important indicator to you and your employer that you have kept up with current technology trends and validated your skills at the rigorous level of the original certification exam.
All certification levels have a three-year recertification requirement. Certified individuals will be able to recertify by completing continuing education activities, taking exams, or a combination of both.
All certifications will be active for three years from the date certification is achieved. Each time recertification requirements are met the certification active status will be extended for an additional three years. For reference, here's an example of how the recertification cycle works:
Expert level certifications are now valid for three years. The suspend status no longer exists. All other recertifications requirements apply.
Certification holders are responsible for monitoring their certification status.
Visit the Certifications Tracking System to check the status of your Associate, Specialist, and Professional certifications.
To check the status of your Expert certifications, visit the CCIE/CCDE Tracker.
Recertification requirements must be met prior to the certification expiration date. Individuals with expired certification(s) must complete the full examination process again to earn active 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.
