To maintain the high standards of the JNCP certifications, and to ensure that the skills of those certified are kept current and relevant, Juniper Networks has implemented the following recertification requirements, which apply to all the certification tracks of the JNCP. These requirements are subject to change.
- Program participants can view their certification status using CertManager
and will periodically be notified via email regarding changes in their status. It is the responsibility of certification holders to keep their certifications and contact information up to date. - All JNCP certifications are valid for a period of two years. Certification holders who do not renew their certification within the two-year period will have their certification placed in suspended mode. Certifications in suspended mode are not eligible as prerequisites for further certification, are not eligible for certification benefits and may not be applied towards partner certification requirements.
To renew your certification:
- JNCIA holders must pass the current JNCIA exam in order to renew their certification. You may also choose to advance your certification by passing the appropriate JNCIS exam.
- JNCIS holders must pass the current JNCIS exam in order to renew their certification. You may also choose to advance your certification by passing the appropriate JNCIP and/or JNCIE exam.
- In the past JNCIP and JNCIE holders were required to pass the current JNCIS exam in order to renew these certifications. Going forward, recertification will either be on the — P level exam if a written exam or a special written recertification exam — not the JNCIS-xx. The certification team has not yet finalized our strategy for P-level exams, but we will know more and provide details in the November 2010 timeframe.
- Renewed certifications are valid for a period of two years from the date of passing the renewed certification exam.
- Passing an exam at a higher level renews all lower-level certifications for two years from the date of passing the higher-level exam. For example, passing the JNCIP exam will renew the JNCIS certification (and JNCIA certification if currently held) for two years from the date of passing the JNCIP exam.
