Recertification

The awarded certification will be active for 2 years from the date of the second exam.

To renew your NSE 6 in SASE certification, complete one of the following:

  • If your NSE 6 in SASE certification has expired, you must hold an active NSE 4 FortiOS certification and pass one of the proctored NSE 6 in SASE exams within 2 years.
  • While your NSE 6 in SASE and your NSE 4 in FortiOS certifications are still active, you can extend the expiration date by 2 years from the date you complete one of the following requirements:
    • Pass an NSE 6 exam from the SASE certification track before the expiration date.
    • Complete the online NSE 6 recertification assessment if:
      • The certification assessment is available for the latest version
      • You passed the proctored exam for a previous version
      • The previous exam was taken within the last 2 years
    • Achieve or renew the NSE 7 certification in the SASE track.
    • If you are NSE 7 in SASE certified, pass any NSE 8 practical exam.

Passing an NSE 6 exam recertifies your NSE 1, NSE 2, and NSE 3 certifications if they are still active.

Important: Renewing an NSE 6 certification requires an active NSE 4 FortiOS certification. If any of the actions above are completed without an active NSE 4 certification, the NSE 6 certification is not issued until you have an active NSE 4 certification. In this scenario, the NSE 4 certification must be issued within 2 years of the NSE 6 exam. The NSE 6 certification will be issued on the same date as the NSE 4 certification.
