Contents of the exam
The LANCOM Certified Expert Security exam is based on the content of the LANCOM Expert Workshop Security course. It does not matter whether you prepare with one of our classroom workshops or our web-based training; both formats cover the necessary content and exercises.

The LANCOM certification exam is valid for 24 months from the day you pass it.

Practical exam (from July 01, 2024)
From July 01, 2024, you will be presented with a scenario corresponding to your workshop, which you will work through independently. Our experts will evaluate your solution and let you know within 2 working days whether you have passed.

• Participants of our trainer-led classroom events: Certification is taken following the workshop as a "practical exam" in the classroom. Typically on Friday morning. The exam is part of the course price.
• Participants in our web-based training courses or re-certifiers/repeaters: We offer separate practical examination dates at regular intervals for a maximum of eight candidates per date. You can either take the exam separately or as part of a WBT.
  The exams take place remotely, i.e. via video conference. You work on a standard lab workstation at the LANCOM Training Center. All you need is your knowledge, stable web access and an ID card.

For both variants (in the classroom or remote), please allow approx. 30 minutes for the preliminary discussion and 60 minutes for the practical implementation of the scenario. Please note that we will need to verify your identity. Please have your identity card ready for this.

The practical certification is considered passed if you have completed at least 80% of the scenario correctly.

Each certification level is assigned to a workshop. For certification, the level of knowledge imparted in the preceding workshop is assumed. Participation in the workshop is not mandatory, but strongly recommended.

The exam is also intended for anyone who wishes to recertify.

LANCOM certifications will proof your comprehensive networking knowledge with LANCOM equipment. It is based on the content and exercises from the LANacademy Professional Workshop Unified Firewalls. This certificate helps you to stand out of the others, proofing your expertise and your profund knowledge that can convince your customers.

After passing the exam, you will receive the "LANCOM Certified Expert Security" certificate. You can download it here in the portal at any time.

The LANCOM certification is valid for 24 months from the day you pass the exam.
