Recertification Policies

All Enterasys technical certifications (associate, specialist, expert and architect) are valid for 2 years. In order to maintain your active certification status, students will need to recertify within a 24 month period by completing one of the following scenarios:

  • Students who have achieved the ECA Security (Enterasys Certified Architect – Security) certification must maintain their active Expert / Specialist combination by which they achieved the ECA Security certification.
  • Students who have achieved the ECA Networking (Enterasys Certified Architect – Networking) certification must retest via the ECA Networking Hands-on Lab in order to maintain their certification. This examination can be taken at any of our Enterasys Learning Centers.
