You can extend up to a maximum of 4 years. So I can take three different CCIE written exams the same day and extend my cert up to 4 years total.

I believe you are correct on the first part but I was told you only add 2 years to your expiration, and writtens only extend 2 years from that date when taken within the 2 year window. So you can't extend out 10 years, only 4..... so I was told.....

Is it every 24 months or within 24 months of expiration? I am going to open a case with the Cisco certification team just to be 100% sure. I have heard both and it is truly confusing. The every 24 months thing seems to be in question as i took a security written in 2007, which got me to 2010 and then another one in 2008 which got me to 2012. > > My history makes it seem like within 24 months of expiration, but the documentation seems like every 24 months. > > On Jul 19, 2010, at 11:38 AM, Dave Craddock wrote: > >> Recertification Deadline >> *Your recertification deadline can be viewed online anytime (with login) at Certification Status. >> *Subsequent recertification deadlines are always based on your original certification date, not on when you took your last recertification exam. >> Recertification Details >> *To maintain active status, every 24 months CCIEs are required to pass one of the following: any CCIE written exam of their choosing, a CCIE lab exam, or either of the CCDE exams. >> *CCIE certification automatically extends other Cisco Career Certifications, such as CCNP or CCNA. >> *Candidates can only apply one passed written exam towards recertification for every 24 month recertification period. >> *Candidates must wait five calendar days between attempts at the written exam. >> *Certification candidates are responsible for keeping track of their certification expiration dates. Please plan your recertification accordingly. If your CCIE recertification requirements are not completed on or before the certification's expiration date, your CCIE certification will be suspended for one year. Candidates have one year to recertify their CCIE certification by passing the required written exam. If a candidate does not recertify prior to the one year suspension period, all CCIE certification requirements must be completed again to obtain the certification (pass both the written exam and the lab exam.) >> *Be sure to use the same ID number you were assigned for your original qualification exam to ensure your profile is updated accurately.

Mine expires on the 23rd of July in 2012, so technically the 24 of July 2010 is within 2 years, right? Would just hate to spend the money and time to take the test and be told 'you needed to wait until the 26th' or something. >>>> >>>> Thanks >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com >>>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com > _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
