Step 5 - Recertification
You have made an important investment by earning a Nuage Networks Virtuoso Certification. Don’t let your certification lapse. All six certifications in the Nuage Networks Virtuoso Certification Program are valid for three years. After three years, you will need to recertify to ensure these NN-VCP designations stay current.
Recertification Requirements:
If you choose to write the required written exam prior to your termination date, your new certification date is the date you pass the exam. You must write the required recertification exam prior to your termination date to keep your certification active and maintain your original certification ID.
You can view your certification status, dates, and exam results from the Student Portal.
Three key dates to remember
Please keep these important dates in mind and organize your recertification activities around them:
Certification date: The day your certification was awarded.
Certification expiry date: The day three years from when your certification was awarded. Note – If you pass a recertification requirement, the expiration and termination dates for your certifications will be reset to the date that you wrote the exam.
Certification termination date: The day your certification terminates if you do not successfully complete the recertification requirements within 6 months after your expiry date.
