SRA Lab Exam

We are currently delivering the SR OS 13.5 version of the SRA Lab Exam (ASRA4A0), which is now available for virtual delivery. We are planning to update the lab exam to version 21.7 using a choice of MD-CLI or CLI, no sooner than Q2' 2022 (April-June). Our goal is to ensure that eligible candidates have enough time to register and take the exam before we change to the new version. We will provide ample notice before the exam is updated.  To learn more about the SRA lab exam and to register, visit - https://www.nokia.com/networks/training/src/exams/sra-lab/
