Time limit between ICND1 and ICND2

darrbaja

Hi

I just finished studying material for taking the ICND1, however I intend to keep revising and practicing for 1 or 2 months before going for the exam. After passing it, I intend to start studying for the ICND2 and will revise it for 1 month or so.

My question is: how much time do you have to complete both in order to get CCNA certified. For instance if I pass ICND1 next July 2012, can I do the ICND2 exam next December 2012 and get the CCNA cert successfully? or there is a time limit of for instance 3 months to complete both?

Thanks in advance.

The time limit is 3 years, as that is when your CCENT/ICND1 will expire.

Thanks for your prompt reply. So in a scenario where a guy passes ICND1 in July the clock starts ticking down to those 3 years. When that guy passes ICND2 in December, the clock refreshes and therefore your CCNA certification will be valid 3 years from the day he achieved the ICND2.

Did I understand?

Yep, you got it.
