NEW: Cisco Revising CCIE R&S Certification
New lab requires hands-on troubleshooting; both exams cover
MPLS and VPN
Cisco has revised the certification requirements for CCIE
R&S and published the new v4.0 standards on the Cisco Learning
Network. Exams based on the new requirements are scheduled for
release on October 18, 2009 and will immediately replace the
current exams. The Cisco 360 Learning Program will also be updated
to support the new requirements.
Requirements for Certification
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Other
professional certifications or training courses are not required.
Instead, candidates must first pass a written qualification exam
and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to
have an in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints
and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job
experience before attempting certification. You can review the exam
preparation materials included on this page for more
information.
Step One: CCIE Routing and Switching Written
Exam
You must pass the two-hour, written qualification exam which
covers networking concepts and some equipment commands before you
are eligible to schedule the lab exam.
Step Two: CCIE Routing and Switching Lab
Exam
The eight-hour lab exam tests your ability to configure actual
equipment and troubleshoot the network in a timed test situation.
You must pass the lab within three years of passing the written to
achieve certification. Your first lab attempt must be made within
18 months.
