Cisco is extending all active Certifications!

The global pandemic has had an impact on every member of the Cisco Certified family. To support your certification goals, Cisco is extending the expiration date for all active certifications by six months (180 days) as of March 16, 2020. This covers all Cisco and DevNet Specialist, Associate, Professional, and Expert certifications as well as CCT and CCAr.  

Your expiration date will automatically be extended, and there is no action required on your part. You will be able to check your personal certification manager page to validate your new expiration date within the next two weeks. 

For more details and frequently asked questions, please visit the Cisco  blog. 

Online Testing: As effective April 15, 2020 Cisco will deliver certification exams using online proctoring from Pearson VUE. The software employs live proctors, augmented with artificial intelligence that uses techniques, such as facial recognition and eye movement tracking, to help proctors perform their duties and quickly flag potential security violations.

There are requirements to note, and if this option is not feasible for the student, taking a live, in-person proctored exam will still be an option as soon as it is appropriate to re-open testing centers. Bonus: Cisco Learning Credits may be applied.
