Good day! For the certification roadmap, what time frame are we looking at for the last date to take the exam? I think that's a critical information that also needs to be advertised and included in the roadmap - 1. review 2. announce 3. publish 4. last date to take the old exam. Thanks!

[@CiscoUtube]

Hi Jemel Santiago! Thank you for your question. The last date is T -1 of the new exam launch. So if new exam is going live on April 20, then last date for old exam is April 19.

So according to certification roadmap Cisco is going to revise CCNA exam between August to October 2023. Is it going to be a major or a minor revision?

[@CiscoUtube]

Hi Debabrata Chatterjee - In this case it's a minor revision. To learn more about how to read the Certification Roadmap, please read this blog: blogs.cisco.com/learning/a-holistic-view-to-plan-your-certification-journey

[@CiscoUtube]

There is no impact or difference whether you take the current or updated exams. Best of luck!

No mention of the CCST?

[@CiscoUtube]

Hi Joseph Frusci, we're excited about your interest in the new CCST certifications! Both CCST certifications were released within the past month and therefore they most likely won't be updated again for a bit. We'll provide feedback to the Certification Roadmaps team to see if we can get them incorporated into the roadmap process for future revisions. In the meantime, you can find new exam topic blueprints for CCST CyberSecurity and Networking on the Cisco Learning Network and free training for both certs on the Networking Academy, "Skills for All" page. Thanks again for the great input and let us know if you have any additional questions. skillsforall.com/

@@CiscoUtube I’ve already earned both networking and cybersecurity CCST. I teach at a top engineering high school in NYC, and I want to bring these two certs into my advanced networking and cybersecurity classroom next year for students to get certified.
