156-915.80 CCSE Update exam

[Hao_Deng]

Hello. I have Check Point Certified Security Expert NGX certification which is expired 2008. Now I passed 156-915.80 CCSE Update exam. But on the exam score report, it said need passed CCSA exam to get CCSE R80. Do I need do the CCSA exam again to get CCSE R80 certification? Thanks.

As per Check Point's Certification FAQ you can take the CCSE R80 Update exam #156-915.80 because you had a CCSE before. It doesn't matter that it's already expired. More info here. Maybe Check Point simply lost track of your previous CCSE because it's so old. Send a PDF of your CCSE NGX to Jason Tugwell‌ or certification@checkpoint.com. They'll fix it.
