Re-certification patch

prudymzari — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:30:13 GMT

I currently have the NetApp Certified Data Administrator, ONTAP(NS0-161) and NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer SAN Specialist, ONTAP(NS0-161) and both are about to expire.

I wanted to know if I am able to renew both of them by taking the NetApp Certified Technology Associate(NS0-002) exam? since t his is in the same data path

I took NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer SAN Specialist exam last month and both certs get extended.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi,

I think the answer is no, lower level exam never extend higher level certification. Is like taking Cisco CCNA exam and expect the CCNP certs get extended but i recommend you contact ncp@netapp.com.

If possible let us know the answer so that other members of the community can benefit.

Hope this help.
