in CCNA & CCENT
Hi there!
So I took the ICND1 back in 2011 and passed it. However, I never took the ICND2. I am wondering if I took the ICND2 now, would I still obtain the CCNA after passing it?
Thanks!

No. Cisco exams are valid for three years.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Yes, it is a bit silly that you have to take the whole test or two test route. I am in the same boat. My employer wants me to be CCNA - I originally went the two test route back in 2011. To re-certify I have to take the whole exam. Shouldn't be a problem, though

Another reason I'd suggest people just go the single test route and get it over with.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

You are exactly right! I did think about taking both tests again, but I've been in a networking related role for a few years now. So it shouldn't be a problem for me to read through the CCNA book to review some topics that I may have forgotten. What sucks for the OP is that they'll essentially need to start all over again.2017 Certification Goals:
