ccnp voice exam recertify

[eddchen]

Hi,

my current ccnp voice is due to expire soon, can I repect a ccnp voice exam to get it recertified? (ie redo a CIPT or Cvoice exame)

Thanks.

To recertify, pass ONE of the following before the certification expiration date:

• Pass any current 642-XXX Professional-level or any 300-XXX Professional-level exam, or
• Pass the current CCDE Written Exam OR current CCDE Practical Exam, or
• Pass any current CCIE Written Exam, or
• Pass the Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) interview AND the CCAr board review to extend lower certifications

well, my question is:

will a repeat of already taken exam, ie cvoice which i have already passed when i got the ccnp voice cert, be considered a valid recertify exam. In other words, will redo the cvoice exam extend my ccnp voice to another 3 years?

Ed

Hi,

Thanks for the checking, but i need a definite answer here.

Cause it is not a valid recertify exam, it will be a great waste for the time and money for me to re-do it, and I will possiblely miss out on the expiration date.

Regards,

Ed

Well, the community moderator in the previous link clearly says 'Any 642 prefix exam under a professional level certification track such as CCNP, CCDP, CCNP Wireless, etc. is considered a professional level exam'. However, you can wait for someone else to confirm this or probably check with the Certification support team:
