CCSE renewal

Phil_Harmonic — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 09:50:30 GMT

My CCSE is due to expire in Feb 2021 and I would like to recertify.

I passed the 156-915.80 update exam in February 2019, to extend the CCSE in R77.30 I had obtained in April 2017.

I understand I am not allowed to take the same exam twice to renew my certification. Can you please kindly tell me what options I have to recertify?

Would I need to sit the 156.315.80?

Please kindly confirm.

Thanks

@Jason_Tugwell should be able to answer concerning the extension options. No, you cannot repeat the same exam twice, though

The CCSE Update exam 156-915.80 can be taken multiple times.

Thanks Danny.

I've just seen https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk163417

"Check Point policy is that you do not retake an exam you have already passed. You either update or upgrade. Ideally, the best course is to take the next higher exam. The one exception is the R80 CCSE update exam (#156-915.80). You may re-certify the R80 CCSE by taking this exam again."
