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.

To maintain your certification status, you must successfully pass one of the recertification requirements associated with the certification that you hold prior to the certification termination date. Recertification options are as follows:

Exam Name

Exam Number

Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS) Fundamentals

4A0-N02

Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS) Operations

4A0-N07

Nuage Networks Expert - Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Lab Exam

NNESDWAN-LE

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.

Benefits of Recertification

Like most professional designations, those in the Nuage Networks Virtuoso Certification Program require students to recertify to retain their NN-VCP designation. Recertification is an important, career-enhancing investment in your professional growth. By taking the time to recertify, you will:

Keep your certification active and avoid letting your hard-earned certification expire and become terminated

Ensure your skills and knowledge are evolving in lock-step with continuous changes in SDN and SD-WAN

Continue to network with a community of leading-edge Software Defined Networks experts

Receive a new industry-respected diploma attesting to your certification level and accomplishment

Be able to work toward a higher certification level in the future

Recertification requirements

Requirements by certification

Prepare for your exam

The NN-VCP content constantly evolves with the requirements of the SDN environment. You can prepare to recertify by pursuing a self-study option or you can register for an instructor-led NN-VCP course that is convenient for you.

Register for your exam

Working toward a higher-level certification?

Your current level of certification must be active for you to achieve a higher certification. For example, if you have an NNP SD-DC certification, this certification must be active for you to qualify for the NNE SD-DC certification.

Certification termination date: The day your certification terminates if you do not successfully complete the recertification requirements within 6 months after your expiry date.
