Cisco CE Credits Program

Earn credits through official training and recertify without retaking the exam. Everything you need to know about the program that keeps your Cisco certification always active.

What it is

The Cisco Continuing Education Program (CEP) lets Cisco-certified professionals keep their credentials active by earning CE Credits instead of retaking the certification exam every 3 years.

Each official Cisco training — delivered by authorized partners like EnterOne — grants a specific number of credits. You collect enough credits within the recertification cycle and renew automatically without re-examination.

Earn credits via courses, Cisco Live events and authoring contributions.
