Help Center / Renewal planning
Use your renewal plan
Applies to: Pro, Team and Compliance · Last updated October 9, 2026
See the fastest legitimate path to every renewal, five different ways.
How the plan is built
- It uses found credit that clearly counts first: things you already did that can count toward a cycle you are short on.
- Then it fills the rest with free, everyday activities, such as webinars, vendor courses and book reviews.
- One activity can count toward several certifications, and the plan takes advantage of that.
Pick a mode
- Best overall: closes the most urgent gaps for the least effort.
- Least time: the most credit per hour of your time.
- Lowest cost: cheapest first. Everything in the library is free today, so this currently matches Least time.
- Fewest activities: the fewest separate things to do, biggest credit first.
- Highest career value: up to three certifications to earn next that can also count toward the renewals you are short on, ranked by their Explorer value score.
Add it to your plan
Select Add to my plan on a suggestion. MyCertRenewal creates a planned activity with planned claims, so you can track it until it is done.
Good to know
- Cisco only gives credit for items it has priced (Cisco U. training, Cisco exams, Cisco Live), so the free library does not fill Cisco gaps. The page says so, and notes that passing the current CCNA or a higher exam recertifies it.
- The plan shows where credit can count. The certifying body decides what it accepts, so check its current rules before you submit.
- On Free you see a summary of found credit.
