Since the announcement of changes in the Cisco certification program, many people are going to know when they should take the exam or whether they can pass the CCIE Certification exam. In this blog, we will introduce some changes in Cisco CCIE Certification exam and lab exam.
How about the CCIE?
The biggest change in this certification reform is not CCNA and CCNP, but CCIE.
CCDE and CCAr certifications are the same as before
Difference 1: The original CCIE certification is to pass the corresponding CCIE written test, and then pass the CCIE Lab exam. After February 24, 2020.the CCIE written test becomes the Core Exam in the CCNP certification, which means that when you hesitate to test CCIE or CCNP You can test Core Exam first. If you pass a core exam + an optional exam, you are CCNP. If you pass a core exam + the Lab exam, congratulations, you become CCIE. Moreover CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless share same core exam.
Difference 2: CCIE R&S is revised not only on the name but exam topics. Such as SD-Access, SD-WAN, Automation and Programmability
For candidates with CCIE RS certification or prepare for it, you might have doubt on your certification, plz look at recertification part.
Difference 3:
Difference 4: The Lab exam format also changes. There are two lab exam formats in the original exam.
Such as the CCIE RS Lab exam
Such as the CCIE DC Lab exam
After the revision, all tracks of CCIE Lab exam (except Design) with the same format
Before February 24, 2020
minimum score：60%
pass score: 80%
after February 24, 2020
Viewpoint 1: CCNP's Core Exam replaces CCIE's written test, which means that Core Exam's exam fee should not be lower than the current CCIE written test of $450 and has not received any clear information about the test price.
Viewpoint 2: Since CCNP no longer needs to take CCNA first, take the current CCNP R&S as an example.
Before February 24, 2020
CCNP R&S= CCNA R&S + CCNP (Routing + Switching + Troubleshooting)
The cost= $325+$300*3=$1225
After February 24, 2020
CCNP Enterprise= Core Exam + Concentration Exam
Do you think Cisco will reduce its exam fee?
We suppose that the core exam fee and concentration exam fee will higher than $450
