Recertification Requirements

To maintain the high standards of the JNTCP certifications, and to ensure that the skills of those certified are kept current and relevant, Juniper Networks has implemented the following recertification requirements, which apply to both certification tracks of the JNTCP:

• All JNTCP certifications are valid for a period of two years.

• Certification holders who do not renew their certification within this two-year period will have their certification placed in suspended mode. Certifications in suspended mode are not eligible as prerequisites for further certification and cannot be applied to partner certification requirements.

• After being in suspended mode for one year, the certification is placed in inactive mode. At that stage, the individual is no longer certified at the JNTCP certification level that has become inactive and the individual will lose the associated certification number. For example, a JNCIP holder placed in inactive mode will be required to pass both the JNCIS and JNCIP exams in order to regain JNCIP status; such an individual will be given a new JNCIP certification number.

• Renewed certifications are valid for a period of two years from the date of passing the renewed certification exam.

• Passing an exam at a higher level renews all lower-level certifications for two years from the date of passing the higher-level exam. For example, passing the JNCIP exam will renew the JNCIS certification (and JNCIA certification if currently held) for two years from the date of passing the JNCIP exam.

• JNCIA holders must pass the current JNCIA exam in order to renew the certification for an additional two years from the most recent JNCIA pass date.

• JNCIS holders must pass the current JNCIS exam in order to renew the certification for an additional two years from the most recent JNCIS pass date.

• JNCIP and JNCIE holders must pass the current JNCIS exam in order to renew these certifications for an additional two years from the most recent JNCIS pass date.

Note 

The most recent version of the JNTCP Online Agreement must be accepted for the recertification to become effective.
