JNTCP 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 all the certification tracks of the JNTCP. These requirements are subject to change.

  • Program participants can view their certification status using CertManager and will periodically be notified via email regarding changes in their status. It is the responsibility of certification holders to keep their certifications and contact information up to date.
  • All JNTCP certifications are valid for a period of two years. Certification holders who do not renew their certification within the two-year period will have their certification placed in suspended mode. Certifications in suspended mode are not eligible as prerequisites for further certification and may not be applied towards partner certification requirements.

To renew your certification:

  • 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.
  • Examples described here are per certification track (M or E-series). For example, passing the JNCIS-M exam will NOT renew a candidate's JNCIP-E certification.
  • 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.
