Important: Changes to Juniper Networks Certified Professional
Enterprise (JNCIP-ENT) Certification Exam Objectives (JN0-647)
Announcement by Robert Watson, Operations Manager, Crystal Echo
Juniper Networks has recently released a new professional-level certification exam (i.e. JN0-647) leading to the Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Enterprise (JNCIP-ENT) qualification and has also announced that this new exam will become the only exam (replacing the remaining JN0-643 exam) leading to the JNCIP-ENT qualification as of 1st October 2017.
This announcement also outlined information that the JN0-643 certification exam will become End of Life (EOL) on 30th September 2017. As announced last month, the ELS version of the JNCIP-ENT certification exam (i.e. JN0-646) has already been superseded by the incoming JN0-647 certification exam. The JN0-646 certification exam became EOL on 1st September 2017.
