CCNP certification question

HiTmAn47 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 18:52:24 GMT

Hello ,

I took my CCNP route exam on 28 April 2015 ,

So from my understanding I have to finish both Switching and TSHOOT exams before 27 April 2018 ,

I booked my Switching Exam on 7 April 2018 ,

So My two questions is ...

1- is 20 days are enough for TSHOOT exam or it's not manageable ?

2- if I failed to pass the TSHOOT exam before 27 April .... I will have to repeat Route and Switching exam again ?

Hi,
You have to pass either SWITCH or TSHOOT. 20 days should be enough, depending on your experience of course.

EDIT: Correction, looks like you need to pass all 3 exams within a 3 year period.

I assume your CCNA will also expire on 27th April 2018 (unless you renewed it by taking another CCNA level exam). If it does expire then, well you'd have to retake that aswell.

Yes my CCNA will expire as well ,

But Iam still confused ... I thought I have to take all three exams within 3 years ...

So if in worst case scenario I passed Switching before 27th of April , but I failed to pass TShoot before 27th of April too .... what will happen ?

Apologies, yeah looks like you need to pass all 3 exams within a 3 year period.

So if I pass Tshoot after 27 of April ... I will need to retake Routing exam again to certify for CCNP ... right ?

I'd guess if you pass SWITCH on 7th April, it would renew your CCNA, so you wouldn't need to retake that.

If you don't pass TSHOOT before 27th April then yeah you'd probably have to retake ROUTE.

HTH and good luck 🙂
