How much does the CCNA certification cost?
The CCNA exam cost and the CCNA certification cost are the same figure: what you pay to sit the exam.
$300
What you actually pay
- Exam fee: $300
This is the vendor's list price. Local taxes, rescheduling fees and any retake are billed separately by the test provider, so check your booking confirmation for the final amount.
Is it worth booking yet?
A failed attempt means paying again, so the $300 is really a bet on being ready. The cheapest way to protect it is to know your weak domains before you book, not after.
