CCSP Certification Info

On October 19, 2010, Learning@Cisco announced the evolution of the CCSP certification to CCNP Security. Cisco retired the CCSP exams in April 2011; however, individuals can still obtain a new CCSP certification until October 2011.

Individuals can recertify their existing CCSP certification by following the normal recertification process. In addition, CCSP-certified individuals who have passed recognized CCNP Security exams may be eligible to receive their CCNP Security certification.

CCSP Certification Prerequisites

CCNA Security Certification OR CCNA + SND* OR any CCIE certification can act as a prerequisite.
*Last day for using this prerequisite is November 17, 2011.
