Certificate expiration date - exam

[guesstimation]

Hi,

Can somebody confirm, if it is possibly to take exam to extend certification (CCSE) on the day of certification expiration? Is expiration date inclusive?

(Before somebody asks, no i am not planning to exam on the last day, but i want to know if i still have that date as a contingency)

Thanks

I did that back in R77.30 days and it was fine, but cant confirm if same applies now.

Maybe @Jason_Tugwell can confirm for you.

According to the certification FAQs document, if your CCSE is R80 or higher, you can recertify CCSE again by taking a newer exam even if it is expired:

Hope it answers your question. Or were you asking about an extension with a specialist exam?

@guesstimation - Yes, having your CCSE extended on the expiration date is still possible.

If the extension does not happen automatically, notify us at certification@checkpoint.com and we will add the extension.

Jason

This is addressed in the FAQ 🙂 sk163417 

• I have a valid CCSM Elite, CCSM, or CCSE. Do I need to maintain the lower certification(s)?
  

  Your goal is to maintain your highest certification or progress to the next level.
  You are not required to recertify on the lower certifications.
  You will only recertify on a lower certification if you allow your highest level of certification to expire.
