TR-772-1

Netskope Administrator Accreditation

Part of Netskope Administrator Accreditation

Targets: Product version not specified in the blueprint
Format: 60 questions
Time limit: 90 minutes
Pass mark: Not published in TR-772-1
Exam fee: Delivered through Netskope Academy (TR-772-1 publishes no separate exam fee)
Blueprint source: Official Netskope Administrator Accreditation description (TR-772-1, 09/24); 60 questions, 90 minutes, delivered through Netskope Academy; valid two years from award; replaces the former NCCSA certification; practitioner profile: configure, monitor, and perform basic troubleshooting, ~6 months suggested; recommended preparation: a tenant, NSCIOTT and NSCO&A Academy courses, and the Knowledge Portal. Sourcing note: TR-772-1 facts verified from the official document and its resource page; the TR-772-1 PDF blocks automated retrieval, so the topic list follows the NSK101/NCCSA blueprint (fetched in full), which TR-772-1 itself states this accreditation replaces - the sibling TR-773-1, fetched in full, carries a topic list identical to its corresponding NSK200 blueprint ↗

Valid for two years from the date the exam is successfully completed through Netskope Academy. This accreditation replaces the former Netskope Certified Cloud Security Administrator certification.
