Does a CCNA certification expire after five years?

submitted 2 years ago by ishaD to general

Yes, the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification expires after three years, not five. Cisco mandates that all its certifications, including CCNA, remain valid for a three-year period to ensure that professionals are up-to-date with the latest technologies and practices in networking.

How to Renew Your CCNA Certification? Renewing your CCNA certification can be done by taking any of the following steps:

Reattempt the CCNA Exam: Retake and pass the current CCNA exam (200-301). Earn a Higher-Level Certification: Pass a Cisco certification at a higher level, such as the CCNP or CCIE, which will automatically renew your CCNA. Earn Continuing Education Credits: Participate in Cisco’s Continuing Education Program by earning credits through specific training or activities.
