CCNP Security Exam Cost

$US400, or use Cisco Learning Credits

The exam fee is the published figure above. Budget 120 minutes of exam time, plus the revision time you need for 6 domains. The vendor retake terms vary, so confirm whether a second attempt is charged separately before you budget.

Retake terms for the CCNP Security are set by Cisco and are not included in the figure above. Check the official exam page before scheduling, because the waiting period is what usually costs you time, not the fee.

The published price for the CCNP Security does not list a voucher. Discounts usually arrive through employer sponsorship or training budgets rather than from the vendor directly, so check with your employer before paying full price.

No. The exam fee is paid to Cisco and covers the exam itself. Certilum is a separate product: 100 practice questions for this certification, tagged to the official domains, with a difficulty score of 2.3/10.

Prioritize hands-on labs with Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) or physical gear for Firepower, ISE, and ASA. Use Cisco's official exam guide and Boson ExSim for practice tests. Focus on automation (Domain 4) as it's a differentiator. Create mind maps for security concepts and VPN technologies. Dedicate 3-4 months with daily 2-hour study blocks. Review memory tables for NAT, ACLs, and crypto commands.
