CMSS Recertification

[Karsten Iwen]

Hi all,

I hope to find an answer here as there should be at least 48 other community members CMSS certified.

Was anyone able to recertify the CMSS with other exams or CE points?

As per the FAQ, it should be possible:

Can the CMSS be recertified by other Cisco certifications?

Yes, details can be found on this link - specialist level certifications can be recertified using any of the following methods:

• Pass any one professional concentration exam
• Pass one technology core exam
• Pass any one expert-level written exam
• Pass any one expert-level Lab/Practical exam
• Earn 40 CE credits
  

For me, none of these extended the CMSS and it shows to expire this year.

Certification support now told me that the only way to recertify the CMSS is to do the exam again.

Did the recertification work for anyone else?

Have a great day, Karsten

Yes, as long as your previously completed achievements meet the recertification requirements and fall within the CMSS validity duration. You got it!

This is really good news that it was possible to sort this out. Every CMSS wins by this. Well, not @Philip D'Ath who already recertified this time by exam … But probably next time.

Just got the answer from certification support (where I opened the initial case) that they are still in progress, but it will be extended before expiration. And as I did the exam shortly after it went live, I assume that will be solved for all CMSS. A big thank to the Meraki and Certification Support teams for working on this.

Now I have the problem that I have no idea which exam to write at CiscoLive …

BTW: My CMSS is already re-certified. Thanks to the team working on this!
