To be a CCNP you must have a valid and current CCNA. The CCNP then validates your new status. I found this out when my friend passed all the four exams for CCDP but because he didn't have the CCDA he cannot call himself CCDP until he does. The same applies to CCNP without a CCNA. To get my CCDP I require passing both CCDA and the design exam, not just the design alone.

He has three tests completed out of the four toward his CCNP. If his CCNA certification expires, can he take the final test and be a CCNP with a expired CCNA. What is Cisco's policy concerning this?
