RIPE NCC Academy: Certification - Exam Vouchers

If you are a RIPE NCC member, you are entitled to three exam vouchers for each LIR that you hold, as part of your membership benefits. To use your vouchers, go to the exam platform, select the exam you would like to take and enter the voucher code.

How to access your vouchers

Log in with your RIPE NCC Access account (if you're not logged in yet) and go to the RIPE NCC Academy Dashboard.
You will be able to see how many vouchers are available for each LIR that you hold. Click on ‘Claim Voucher’ or the relevant LIR’s name (in case of multiple LIR holders), and the voucher codes will be emailed to your registered email address.
If the Dashboard shows zero vouchers, you have either already received all your voucher codes by email or are not eligible to receive exam vouchers from the RIPE NCC. It might also mean you are not a registered contact person for your LIR. If you’re certain that your organisation is a RIPE NCC member, reach out to your authorised colleagues to request a voucher.

Voucher Validity

Vouchers issued to RIPE NCC members are valid until the end of the calendar year. If you are a member, you can claim your vouchers through the RIPE NCC Academy dashboard.

Please note that promotional vouchers, such as those from the Summer Campaign, RIPE Virtual Event Bag, and similar promotions, have different validity periods than regular member vouchers. The validity of each promotional voucher is specified during its respective campaign.

Please contact the Exams team if you need assistance with your voucher codes.

Exam Fees

RIPE NCC certification is open to all but only Members who are issued voucher codes to register for the exam will get them for free every year. We don’t offer the option of paying for exams. If you are not a member and you or your team are still looking to get certified, contact us at exams@ripe.net for options.
