Recertification Options

Recertification Options 

To maintain the high standards of the JNCP certifications, and to ensure that the skills of those certified are kept current and relevant, HPE Networking has implemented the recertification requirements described below. These requirements apply to all the certification tracks of the JNCP and are subject to change.

Passing an exam or taking a course at a higher level renews all lower-level active certifications in the same track, as well as all other active Associate-level certifications.

As a program participant, you can view your certification status using CertMetrics. You will periodically receive e-mail notifications regarding your certifications. As a certification holder, it is your responsibility to keep your certifications and contact information up to date

All JNCP certifications are active for three years. If you do not renew your certifications within that three-year active period, they will expire.
