For example you can get knowledge manager and admin certs without taking a single course now. I looked everywhere but couldnt find the website that details this. Your best bet is to email <A href="mailto:certification@splunk.com">certification@splunk.com</A> and ask them what to do as they know the most. They'll find your old credits and assist you in your cert track moving forward.</P> Mon, 28 Dec 2015 17:12:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Training-Certification/Do-Splunk-courses-ever-expire/m-p/209058#M963 jkat54 2015-12-28T17:12:22Z
