CCNA Current test experation

Good morning,
A quick question for all of you, when does the current CCNA exam expire? I am aiming to start my study for my CCNA next month and just questioning if there is a hard deadline in the horizon.

At a glance, does not look like it:
CCNA - Career Certifications & Paths - Cisco Systems

This is how it looks when a new version of the exam has been officially announced:
CCNA Security - Career Certifications & Paths - Cisco Systems

640-553 IINS
Last day to test:
September 30, 2012

Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS v1.0)

OR

640-554 IINS

Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS v2.0)

It has been several years since their last refresh of CCNA, so I do expect to see it in the near future, however, there is no way to tell without insider knowledge. It could be next month or in 2 years. Just go with what is currently available. Waiting for the next best thing never ends.

edit: Actually the last change to the CCNA was just an update. There has not been a refresh of the ICND exams.

I used to worry about this too, until I saw Chris Bryant's video where he talked about changes to the CCNA.

CCNA: Should You Be Concerned About Upcoming Exam Changes? - YouTube

The fundamentals never change.

He has done a few other videos where he has talked about changes to to CCNA:S too.
