Do Check Point Certs Expire ?

Hello,

Does CCSA or CCSE or any of the other Check Point certifications expire ?

Cisco expires them after 3 years, then you need to renew. Does Check Point do the same thing ?

Check Point Certs don't expire once you pass a CCSA exam. The accreditation is release specific, ie 4.1, NG, NG AI and NGX.

You don't pass a CCSA exam as such you pass a specific release.

If Check Point PostNGX was released you would not be certified on this until passing the CCSA PostNGX exam.

With Cisco you take the exam every 3 years, however if they release a new software version every 3 weeks you don't have to recertify.

Thanks for the good info. This clears things up.
