Hi @kbettich ,

The Palo Alto Networks PCNSE certification was retired on July 31, 2025, and therefore, there is no longer a learning plan available for it.

You should instead look for updated certification paths within the certification program to develop your network security skills.

Here's a blog discussing the changes and which certifications to look for now:

Hope this helps,
