Check Point Exams Retiring

Check Point has notified Pearson VUE that the following exams will retire on 30 June, 2008:

• 156-210.4
• 156-310.4
• 156-510.4
• 156-810.4
• 156-811.4
• 156-915.1

This date has been entered into Pearson VUE’s system and will be the last date for registration and delivery.
Client Questions

The client questions for Check Point candidates have been inactivated. In their place, Check Point will be adding a survey to their exams as exams are republished.
The data being collected from the client questions did not address Check Point’s current needs. Check Point determined that the data they will collect from surveys will be more useful to them.

I looked them up:

156-210.4 - CCSA NG with AI

156-310.4 - CCSE NG with AI

156-510.4 - CCSE Plus NG with AI

156-810.4 - CCMSE NG with AI (Check Point Managed Security Expert NG with Application Intelligence)

156-811.4 - CCMSE NG with AI Plus VSX (Check Point Managed Security Expert NG with Application Intelligence Plus VSX)

156-915.1 - Accelerated CCSE NGX (Check Point Certified Security Expert NGX Rev 1.1)

Hmmm, I hope the last one will be replaced one allowing me to go from the NG AI CCSE directly to the NGX R65 CCSE as Check Point said they would do.

And the official answer on the CCSE Accelerated is found at https://forums.checkpoint.com/forums...=5251&tstart=0

"We haven't announced this yet, but we will have an upgrade exam for CCSE NGX R65 coming out soon. Our goal is to release it towards the end of March. That is contingent on resource availability from other projects. An interesting aspect of this exam is our decision to make it available to any certified professional with a CCSE certification. If a candidate has a verifiable CCSE certification from 4.0 to NGX R60, they are eligible for this exam. Watch for the exam number 156-915.65. I'll announce it's availability in the Certified Professional's Newsletter."
