I am currently NSE 4 certified. What is required to achieve one of the new certifications?

If the NSE 4 FortiOS exam is the only Fortinet proctored exam that you have passed, and you passed it on or after October 1, 2021::

To become a Fortinet Certified Professional (FCP), you can take a minimum of one of the exams listed below--before October 1, 2023--to achieve the new certification:

- NSE 5 FortiAnalyzer - NSE 5 FortiClient EMS - NSE 5 FortiManager - NSE 6 FortiAnalyzer Administrator - NSE 6 FortiAuthenticator - NSE 6 FortiNAC - NSE 6 FortiSwitch - NSE 6 Secure Wireless LAN	- NSE 6 Cloud Security for AWS - NSE 6 Cloud Security for Azure	- NSE 5 FortiAnalyzer Analyst - NSE 5 FortiSIEM - NSE 5 FortiEDR - NSE 6 FortiSOAR Administrator

The expiration date of your respective FCP certification will be two years from the date you passed the last exam required for the certification.

For example:

If you have passed the NSE 4 FortiOS exam and one or more of the additional exams listed above:

You will be awarded the respective FCP certification(s) on October 1, 2023, under the following conditions:

• You hold a valid NSE 8 certification on October 1, 2023 and you completed both required FCP exams at any time in the past, or
• You hold a valid NSE 7 certification on October 1, 2023, and you completed both required FCP exams and at least one FCSS exam in the same track any time in the past, or
