    Cisco Continuing Education Program

    Cisco´s Continuing Education Program is based on three founding principles: Flexibility, Diversity, and Integrity. Flexibility is achieved by offering existing Cisco certified individuals an alternative option for recertification, in addition to the already existing option of recertifying by passing the relevant exam(s). Diversity is achieved by allowing individuals a wide range of preapproved items, such as online courses, instructor-led training, authoring of content, and Cisco Live training offerings (collectively called “Continuing Education items”), which can be pursued to earn credits toward recertification. Integrity is achieved by having Cisco authorized content providers, who deliver the content to the individual seeking recertification, validate the credits submitted by that individual.

    The Continuing Education Program is governed by the Cisco Continuing Education Advisory Board. Candidates who choose to recertify through the Continuing Education Program will be required to earn a certain number of credits by completing the required Continuing Education item(s) as delivered by a content provider and paying the Continuing Education administrative fee before their current certification becomes inactive.

    Once candidates have earned the designated number of credits and paid their Continued Education administrative fee, they will be recertified as per the existing recertification policies.

    Goal

    The Continuing Education Program is offered to existing Cisco certified individuals as a flexible alternative option for recertification. The program is intended to encourage candidates to diversify their skill sets in order to make them more valuable to their organization and the industry as a whole while maintaining the integrity of the Cisco brand.

    Eligibility

    In 2020, the Continuing Education program will extend to the CCNA, Specialist, CCNP, CCIE certifications.

    In the Continuing Education Program, the certification holder can choose from the list of pre-approved Continuing Education Program offerings to earn credits towards recertification.

    The Continuing Education Program is also available for candidates with Emeritus status as described on the CCIE Emeritus website except for the following:

    • Candidates in Emeritus status who are required to pass both a written exam and a lab to become active again
    • Candidates who achieved Emeritus status by earning Business Transformation certifications as described on the CCIE website

    The program is currently not available to candidates with Associate- and Professional-level certifications.

    Recertification Requirements

    To recertify via the Continuing Education Program, the following three steps must be completed before your current certification becomes inactive:

    • Agree to the Terms and Conditions associated with the Continuing Education Program as part of the enrollment process
    • Earn 100 credits required by completing any of the preapproved Continuing Education offerings
    • Pay the Continuing Education administrative fee

    You can enroll in the Continuing Education Program and earn the required credits at any time before your certification becomes inactive. You will earn Continuing Education credits only when the relevant content provider has approved your credit submission. For completion of pre-approved Cisco Digital Learning self-paced trainings, you will obtain a “certificate of completion” that can be uploaded during submission of the training claim. The process to obtain the certificate of completion for the various self-paced trainings will be documented within the product or as part of the purchase process.

    Once you complete the above steps, your certification will be renewed as per existing renewal policies. To recertify any of your Expert-level certifications via the Continuing Education Program, you will need to earn 100 credits before your current Expert-level certification becomes inactive.

    You can enroll in the Continuing Education Program, submit your credits, track all of your Continuing Education activity, and pay the Continuing Education administrative fee by visiting https://ce.cisco.com and logging in with your Cisco.com ID and password.
