What is the FCX recertification process?

To recertify, the following requirements apply: 

• While the certification is still valid (within the three-year period), the candidate must take and pass the written exam only (three attempts maximum).
• If the candidate fails the written exam after three (3) attempts, they must continue to attempt the written exam until they pass it; however, the candidate must schedule and pass the most updated version of the practical exam also.
• It is advised that candidates not re-certify too soon. Candidates should plan to re-certify no sooner than six months before the expiration date, to maximize the time between re-certifications.

When the candidate passes the written recertification exam, it also recertifies any other Fortinet certifications the candidate has achieved previously, including those that have expired.
