Renew my old Cisco Certifications

[cisco8887]

Hi, 

I have Cisco CCNA, CCNP R&S and DC. If I take the core 350-701 SCOR in security, would this renew all my ccnp exams?

@cisco8887 yes SCOR is a core exam which will renew a CCNP - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/recertification-policy.html#~requirements

Hi all,

Does anyone know how the continuous learning work ?

I checked and for CCNP, one needs 80 credits. Checking cisco courses for CCNP security, it is core bundle plus exam bundle and gives 64 credits. does this mean if you simply do the course, you get 64 credit and exam is mock test is also provided if you want to take the exam ?

or also need to take the exam to get 64 credits?

If you complete the Security Core course (which is designed to prepare you for SCOR, the CCNP Security core exam) you will be awarded 64 CE credits. You don't need to pass the actual SCOR exam to earn those CE credits but you do need to pass both the individual module/chapter exams and overall exam included in the course. Note that CE credits are only used for RECERTIFICATION and not your initial certification.

To be clear, it is an exam for the course only, taken online in a non-proctored open book format. It is NOT the SCOR 350-701 proctored Pearson Vue exam required for initial certification.

Hi All, I did two courses each having 64 credits in the Cisco E learing and submitted certificate to cisco. First one was updated earlier this year to the portal and second one within 5 days of the first.

i noticed cisco had renewed bunch of my certifications which were specialised using 40 credit of the 64 and now won't renew my CCNP DC etc as they need 80 points. 

I opened a case with cisco, I assumed if I get 80 credits it renews CCNP and all specialisation exams thus leaving me with 48 credits however at the moment it seems they have used 40 from initial 64 which leaves a balance of 24 . that plus the second 64 is 88 credit however nothing getting renewed. is it a manual process?
