What is CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert)?
CISCO is the world’s leading company in Information Technology, and CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is one of the most respected certifications issued by the Information Industry worldwide.
CCIE is an advanced certificate that recognizes training, experience, and skills in structuring, testing, and troubleshooting complex networks.
Cisco CCIE and New Cisco Certificates
By continuing to analyze the announcement of Advanced Certificates issued by Cisco on Monday (June 10), I want to address the issue of professional-level certificates.
Professional-level certifications have never been the most considerable CCNA level, but for many years have been a clear path of professional development for those wishing to pursue a career in networks.
The natural continuity of CCNA (and therefore undertaken by most people) emerged as the step before CCI. Over the years, they have become eight different certifications in different areas of networks.
This reorganization of the certification system has led to significant developments that we must consider.
General aspects of the next level of this CCNP Professional level certificate do not have formal prerequisites. That is, there is no longer a prerequisite for having a valid CCNA certificate.
You still need to pass multiple exams to get a certificate, but now you only need to pass two.
In each architecture, however, there are several specialist options, ranging from 3 to 6 Concentrations that will lead to different specialties.
Each Concentration exam results in Expert certification on a particular technology.
The diversity of “CCNPs” has been significantly reduced. There is now a professional certificate for each architecture: Enterprise, Data Center, Security, Service Provider, and Collaboration.
Exams will be valid until February 232020.
New certification exams will be available from February 24, 24020.
Existing certificates remain in effect until each reapprovals date.
Those who have received a valid CCNP certificate by FeFebruary 24ill have the corresponding CCNP certificates.
As of February, 24those who hold a CCNP Routing and Switching Certificate, CCNP Wireless, and CCDP will receive the new CCNP Enterprise certificate that intensifies these three.
For those in the certification process who do not meet all requirements from 23 FebruarFebruary 23ration plan is planned, which partially recognizes the approved exams to qualify for new certificates.
In any case, relevant formal training is planned for next July.
There is currently no official explanation of how Cisco NetAcad academies will pass.
There is an online tool to facilitate the transition to the new system: Migration Tool.
