Update to Citrix’s Recertification Campaign

Citrix has updated its existing Citrix Recertification Program to apply only to individuals whose certification hasn’t expired, except for the newest update to Recertification Program regarding the CCE-V certification. Once a certification expires, an individual will have to regain all of the lower level certifications and pass the exam to regain certification.

For those partners and customers who have an expiring, but not yet expired certification, there are two options to recertify:

Option 1: Attend the associated Instructor-led training. By taking the associated course, they will not be required to take or pass the exam.
Option 2: Take and pass the required exam.

To view the eligible courses and exams for each track, please see the Citrix courses that correspond to certification, linked below.

Again, please note that beginning January 1, 2018, individuals with expired certifications are not eligible to recertify by attending the associated Instructor-led training course. If a certification expires before one takes and passes the required exam or equivalent ILT training, one will need to regain all of the lower level certifications and pass the associated exam in order to regain certification.

CCE-V Certification

As a new addition to the Recertification Program, Citrix has created an opportunity for students to recertify their expired or expiring CCE-V certifications. From January 29 to July 30, students with expired or expiring CCE-V certifications can recertify by attending the CXD-410 instructor-led training. Please note that this limited opportunity is an exception to the new 2018 program rules and does not apply to the CCIA certification.

For a complete list of the certifications one may recertify with by attending the associated Instructor-led training course, please view the information below. Please note that early access versions of the below courses are acceptable for recertification as well.
