If it has lapsed it is not current and than this is a false
representation.
If you state that you had a CCNA but it lapsed on the resume - this is
ok.
However, by listing it when it is expired and not stating that it is
expired, you are making a fraudulent misrepresentation to the
prospective employer. This is a misdemeanour crime so I would not
recommend it.

Subject: RE: Value of certifications
I have a question that kind of follows a long the lines of this one...
If you have a certification that lapses, can you still note it on your
resume? I got my CCNA certification 3 1/2 years ago, but do to recent
time
constraints, I wasn't able to go take the recertification exam. Can I
still
list that on my resume, maybe with the year it expired, or is that not
cool?
Just wondering what others thought about that...

Certifications get you through Biodata scanners in HR :)
Once you are through them, then only you are called for interviews.
So, certs are important for career advancement.
On another front, certs give confidence to your employer and client
about your capabilities.

Bert,
I suggest that if you are going to look at the Security+ cert you
looking into the SSCP by ISC2 instead.
I have not seen much value given to Sec+ cert but I have seen value
given to the SSCP.
It also gives you a good step towards obtaining your CISSP eventually.

Subject: Value of certifications
My employer offers classes for 2 security certifications, CompTIA
Security+ and Certified Information Systems Security Professional. I
know that the CISSP certification is aimed more at management, and is
worthwhile, but I'm not management (yet), so I'm looking at the
Security+, but I don't know if it's worth the time. Does anyone know
how much value it has? I've been able to follow the discussions I've
seen here, but I wouldn't call myself a security expert by any means.
Thanks,
Bert Knabe
