Recertification

To renew your NSE 5 in SASE certification, complete one of the following:

• If your NSE 5 in SASE certification has expired, you must hold an active NSE 4 FortiOS certification and pass the proctored NSE 5 in SASE exam within 2 years.
• While your NSE 5 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 5 SASE exam before the NSE certification expiration date.
  • Complete the online NSE 5 SASE 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 the NSE 5 SASE exam recertifies your NSE 1, NSE 2, NSE 3 certifications if they are still active.

Important: Renewing an NSE 5 certification requires an active NSE 4 certification. If any of the actions above are completed when you do not have an active NSE 4 certification, the NSE 5 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 5 exam. The NSE 5 certification will be issued on the same date as the NSE 4 certification.
