What exam versions are available?

Our Current certifications are based on R81.10

How long does a certification last?

Certifications expire after 24 months. Certifications, like security, must be kept current to be truly effective – which is why we strongly encourage you to constantly refresh and keep your certification current.

How do you extend a valid core certification?

You can extend a valid core certification by 1 -year by means of passing an Infinity Specialist Accreditation (ISA).

Or,

If the CCSA or CCSE is retaken and passed before it expires, the certification will be renewed for 2 years from the previous expiration date.

Some important notes:

A CCSA may be extended a maximum of two times by passing 2 different ISAs. (CCSA must be current, not expired)

A CCSE may be extended one time. A second ISA will award the Accreditation and the CCSM Certification! (The CCSE must be current, not expired)

The CCSA or the CCSE exam may be retaken as a means to recertify.

Where can I take a Check Point certification exam?

Check Point professional certification exams are proctored through Pearson VUE and as such can be taken at MIE’s Testing center, Or alternatively, exams are now available via Pearson VUE Online Proctoring, where exams are delivered by a live proctor to your workstation.

Does Check Point have an exam retake policy?

Yes. If you fail an exam and want to retake it, you must wait 24 hours before the next attempt. After the second attempt you will need to wait 30 days for the third attempt and any subsequent attempts.
