Can I skip the CCTA and start with the CCTE certification?

Hi all,

We are studying new certifications to maintain the CCSP.

(We are studying CCTE certification.)

However, there is not too much relevant information.

I have one question.

Can I skip the CCTA and start with the CCTE certification?

The CCTA is not a prerequisite to the CCTE.  You can take it without having the CCTA.  However, if you are looking to extend a CCSE certification, the CCSE must be valid and not expired.

Thanks
