I'm sorry, I mistook your question. Yes, CDH4 exams (CCA-410) will EOL in early 2015, prior to the EOM of CDH4 in June.
I thought your question was about the certification, not the specific exam.

The policy is on our website and I've copied the relevant info below. If you passed CCA-410, you're certified on CDH4 which end-of-maintenances on June 15, 2015. You'll stay certified on CDH4, it's just that CDH4 may not be what employers want at that time. Regardless, it shows that at a point in time you showed a level of knowledge and mastery and one assumes you have continued to build your skills and mastery and that's what matters. We recommend you recertify on the current versions of course, in order to stay current. This is why we offer lower-priced upgrade exams.

awesome thank you! that is helpful. I wanted to know because management wanted a bunch of employees to get certified right away in version 4 since they said in january version 4 is out for testing and cant get certified in it. I found that to be a little fishy and wanted to verify.

Is there now a CCD-510 exam (and practice test) available? The exam page:
