Juniper Networks Certification Program (JNCP)
The Juniper Networks Certification Program (JNCP) consists of platform-specific, multi-tiered tracks each of which allows participants to demonstrate, through a combination of written proficiency exams and hands-on configuration and troubleshooting exams, competence with Juniper Networks technology. Successful candidates demonstrate thorough understanding of Internet technology and Juniper Networks platform configuration and troubleshooting skills.

PROGRAM UPDATES:
Since August, 2010 and continuing into 2011 Juniper Networks Certification Program (JNCP) has been undergoing framework changes that recognize an individual's skill and knowledge on Junos technologies and business solutions. The popular M-Series track is migrating to a Service Provider Routing and Switching track - creating a certification that represents a broad range of Juniper Networks products for the Service Provider industry. Similarly, the Enterprise Routing and the Enterprise Switching tracks is being combined into a single track, Enterprise Routing and Switching. As part of this change we have been retiring the exams supporting the M-Series, Enterprise Router, and Enterprise Switching tracks. Please note, any certifications earned in these tracks remain valid and eligible for full JNCP benefits until their two year re-certification period. For up-to-date information on these changes please go to Juniper Networks Certification Program Update page.
The JNCP is also completing the Junos-based certifications for the Service Provider Routing and Switching (SP), Enterprise Routing and Switching (ENT), and Junos Security (SEC) tracks. The Professional Level exams will now be scenario based written exams available at Prometric Testing Centers worldwide. The exam release schedule is:
