Why do Cisco certifications expire?
By using limited-term certifications and offering an exam-based re-certification process, Cisco assures that certification holders have not only met high standards, but also kept their skills up to date. • Why is Cisco announcing the re-certification program now? Re-certification has been part of the program since 1997, when CCIE re-certification was implemented. It is now being implement for the Professional and Associate levels and for Specializations. A re-certification policy with time limits on certifications and a way to renew them, keeps certification status relevant during a time of rapidly changing technology.
