Recertification Policies
Once certified at the ESE, ESSE-D and ESSE-NAC level you will need to recertify within 24 months by passing a recertification exam at an Enterasys Learning Center or via a certified training partner. Once ECIE levels are reached, you will need to recertify within 24 months by attending the appropriate Implementation and Operation course and successfully passing the associated exam. All ECIE levels supersede previous certifications and will be the only certification that will need to be maintained. For example, when an ESE certifies as ECIE-C, they will only need to maintain the ECIE-C certification and not recertify as an ESE.

Migration from 2007 to 2008 Certification Program
With the introduction of our Implementation and Operation courses in 2008, we have made modifications to our certification tracks. Below are some points for our currently certified professionals on how the program has migrated and how it affects you.
- All active ECIE’s will maintain their certification until 2 years from the certification award.
- All ECIE’s looking to recertify after January 1, 2008 will need to attend the Implementation and Operation courses for their paths (ESE, ESSE-D, ESSE-NAC).
- All ESE, ESSE-D and ESSE-NAC certified professionals must recertify before their 2 year expiration with a recertification exam that contains content from each of the supporting courses (i.e. ESE will contain questions from Enterprise Switching, Enterprise Routing, Wireless, and Network Management).
- If an ESE, ESSE-D or ESSE-NAC certified professional lets their certification expire prior to attending a recertification exam, they must pass all individual exams to regain certification. For example, an ESE who recertifies within the allotted 2 year timeframe can take one ESE exam. If an ESE does not recertify within the 2 years, they must pass individual exams in Enterprise Switching, Enterprise Routing, Secure Wireless, and Enterprise Management.
- After January 1, 2008, all students attending any certification course will be offered an exam at the conclusion of each course at the Learning Center.
- After January 1, 2008, all exams will be hosted by Enterasys Learning Centers or via an Enterasys Certified Instructional Partner.
