Recertification
NCS-Core
Nutanix Services is launching a new "recertification" policy to help demonstrate how you are continuously improving and increasing your service delivery skill set.
​
Effective August 1st, 2024, your NCS-Core certification will expire two years from the date you passed the exam.

Easing the Transition
We understand this is a change, so we are providing a 6-month grace period to make the transition easier. If your most recent NCS-Core certification is already expired (over two years old), then we will extend the expiration date until January 31st, 2025, for you to take any of the steps above to recertify and stay current.
