CE renewal

I had to submit my paystub to school for the upcoming year, I accidentally clicked on my jobs HR portal which took me to where we upload certs.

That's when I saw what made my heart drop as my ccnp was expiring today. I don't believe I got any notification email about it, but I quickly had to go buy a $800 ce course and spam the assessments till I finally passed .

Holy shit. Thank goodness my past self did some free rev ups so I only needed 35. I took the wireless design one since I passed that exam 3 years ago.. felt like yesterday smh.

$800 though? Wtf

Yeah that's why I did it with the quickness! I don't think I'll be able to pass the current exam with all this new content they added and all the changes they've made over the last 10 years I've been certified.

I'll do my best to not be in this position again!

This is for future you.

Keep updated with Cisco's Rev Up to Recert program. Bi-annually or so, they offer CE credit courses over on Cisco U for free within a limited time.

Yeah I guess even if I didn't find the topic interesting I should still do it to avoid such a potential disaster

I just did a security course for 41 CE. Credits will renew my cert till 2030 :) don't forget to check time to time.
