For decades, Cisco certifications have been the gold standard for networking professionals, serving as a globally recognized benchmark for technical skill and expertise.¹ In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, this framework is far more than a series of exams; it represents a structured and comprehensive roadmap for career development. Navigating this path, from foundational knowledge to the highest levels of strategic design, is a critical component of building a successful and resilient career in information technology. This report provides a definitive guide to the Cisco certification hierarchy, offering a detailed, fact-based analysis for professionals planning their next move.

Cisco’s certification program is structured into five main levels: Entry (CCST, CCT), Associate (CCNA, CyberOps, DevNet), Professional (CCNP), Expert (CCIE, CCDE), and Architect (CCAr). This tiered system provides a progressive path from foundational knowledge to the highest levels of technical expertise and strategic design, with a primary track of CCNA → CCNP → CCIE.²

Understanding this hierarchy is the first step, but the true value lies in comprehending the strategic purpose behind each level, the specific skills they validate, and how they align with distinct career goals and salary expectations. This report will now dissect each tier, providing the detailed, fact-based analysis needed to make informed decisions about your professional journey.

Blog Claim: The Cisco certification framework is more than a validation of technical skills; it is a meticulously designed career lifecycle management tool that, when navigated strategically, provides a clear and quantifiable path to increased expertise, salary, and industry influence.

The Foundational Tiers: What Are the Entry and Associate Levels?

For anyone beginning a career in IT or seeking to formalize their foundational knowledge, Cisco’s Entry and Associate levels provide the essential starting blocks. These certifications are designed to build core competencies in networking, cybersecurity, and IT support, creating the bedrock upon which specialized and advanced skills are built. This section will explore these crucial first steps on the Cisco certification path.

The Entry level, featuring the Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) and Cisco Certified Technician (CCT), validates fundamental IT support and hardware maintenance skills. The Associate level, anchored by the flagship Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), provides the core knowledge required for modern networking roles, complemented by specialized tracks in cybersecurity (CyberOps Associate) and automation (DevNet Associate).²

Entry Level: The First Rung on the Ladder

The Entry level serves as the most accessible starting point, requiring no prior certifications and targeting individuals at the very beginning of their IT careers.⁵

• Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST): This program is designed to validate work-ready skills for high-demand, entry-level positions such as IT Support Technician, Help Desk Technician, and Network Support Technician.⁶ It is strategically divided into three distinct certifications—CCST IT Support, CCST Networking, and CCST Cybersecurity—each tailored to a specific career path. These certifications typically require around 150 hours of instruction and prepare individuals for roles with starting salaries in the range of $35,000 to $45,000 annually.⁶ The CCST program is a direct response to the industry’s need for a verifiable baseline of skills before a candidate undertakes the more comprehensive CCNA.
• Cisco Certified Technician (CCT): While the CCST offers a broad introduction to IT support, the CCT is a more specialized credential focused on the hands-on, on-site diagnosis, repair, and replacement of Cisco hardware.⁷ It is offered in tracks such as Data Center, Routing & Switching, and Collaboration. The CCT validates the practical skills essential for field support technicians, including the ability to identify Cisco hardware models, understand various cabling types, use the Cisco Command Line Interface (CLI) for basic service tasks, and work effectively with the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).⁸

Associate Level: The Cornerstone of a Networking Career

The Associate level is the primary launchpad for a career in networking and related technology fields. It is anchored by the CCNA, one of the most recognized IT certifications in the world.¹⁰

• Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA): Following a significant restructuring on February 24, 2020, Cisco consolidated its multiple specialized CCNA tracks (such as Security, Wireless, and Collaboration) into a single, comprehensive exam: the 200-301 CCNA.⁴ This strategic change ensures that all modern CCNA holders possess a broad and robust foundation in the essentials of network administration. The exam validates a wide range of fundamental skills, with the curriculum weighted as follows: Network Fundamentals (20%), Network Access (20%), IP Connectivity (25%), IP Services (10%), Security Fundamentals (15%), and Automation and Programmability (10%).¹² While there are no formal prerequisites, Cisco recommends that candidates have at least one year of experience implementing and administering Cisco solutions.¹⁴
• Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate: This certification, earned by passing the 200-201 CBROPS exam, is specifically tailored for aspiring cybersecurity analysts working within a Security Operations Center (SOC).¹⁶ It validates the tactical knowledge required to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats, covering key domains such as security concepts, security monitoring, host-based analysis, and network intrusion analysis.¹⁸ This certification provides a specialized and direct entry point into the high-demand field of cybersecurity operations.
• Cisco Certified DevNet Associate: Targeting the critical intersection of software development and network infrastructure, this certification is achieved by passing the 200-901 DEVASC exam.¹⁹ It validates core competencies in understanding and using APIs, developing on Cisco platforms, and leveraging automation tools like Python and Ansible.¹⁹ The DevNet track is Cisco’s direct answer to the industry-wide shift towards Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), network programmability, and DevOps methodologies.

The 2020 consolidation of the CCNA and the upcoming 2026 rebranding of the CyberOps and DevNet tracks are not isolated events. They reveal a deliberate, long-term strategy by Cisco to create a more unified and logical certification framework. Before 2020, the certification landscape was fragmented with numerous siloed CCNA specializations, which could lead to confusion and force candidates into premature specialization without a deep understanding of core networking principles.⁴ The solution was to consolidate the CCNA into a single, robust baseline of knowledge for all networking professionals, ensuring that any modern CCNA holder has a comprehensive grasp of fundamentals, including the now-essential domains of security and automation.¹² The next logical step in this evolution is the planned renaming of CyberOps and DevNet certifications in February 2026 to “CCNA/CCNP Cybersecurity” and “CCNA/CCNP/CCIE Automation,” respectively.³ This move fully integrates these high-demand specializations into the core Cisco certification hierarchy. This evolving strategy makes the entry point (CCNA) broader and more foundational, while pushing deep specialization to the Professional (CCNP) level, reflecting the industry’s demand for professionals with a wide base of knowledge and a deep specialization in one area.

Sub claims The Associate level is no longer just about routing and switching; it has evolved to provide three distinct, high-value entry points into the core pillars of modern IT: traditional networking, cybersecurity operations, and infrastructure automation.

The Professional Tier: How Do You Specialize with CCNP?

After mastering the fundamentals at the Associate level, the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) tier represents the critical next step for IT professionals seeking to demonstrate deep expertise and specialize in a chosen technology domain. This level is designed for individuals with three to five years of experience and is the primary vehicle for advancing into senior and lead engineering roles.²³

The CCNP certification requires passing two exams: a core technology exam that covers foundational knowledge for a specific track, and a concentration exam chosen from a list of specialized topics. This flexible “core + concentration” model allows professionals to tailor their certification to their precise job role and career goals across tracks like Enterprise, Security, Data Center, and Collaboration.²⁴

The CCNP framework is designed to be both modular and highly specialized. A significant feature of this model is that passing the core exam alone earns a candidate a Specialist certification, which formally recognizes their professional-level knowledge in that technology’s foundational principles.2 To achieve the full CCNP certification, a candidate must also pass one of the concentration exams, which validates their expertise in a specific niche area within that technology track.24

Key CCNP Tracks:

• CCNP Enterprise: This is the modern evolution of the classic “Routing and Switching” track and is one of the most pursued professional certifications. The required core exam is 350-401 ENCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies). The concentration options are extensive, allowing professionals to specialize in areas like advanced routing and services (300-410 ENARSI), SD-WAN solutions (300-415 ENSDWI), wireless network design (300-425 ENWLSD), and enterprise automation (300-435 ENAUTO).²⁴
• CCNP Security: This track focuses on the skills needed to secure modern network infrastructures. The core exam is 350-701 SCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies). Concentration exams cover a wide range of security technologies, including firewalls (300-710 SNCF), identity services with ISE (300-715 SISE), and secure VPN solutions (300-730 SVPN).²
• CCNP Data Center: This certification validates expertise in modern data center solutions. The core exam is 350-601 DCCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies). Professionals can then specialize in areas like data center design (300-610 DCID) or data center automation (300-635 DCAUTO).²
• CCNP Collaboration: This track is for experts in Cisco’s unified communications and collaboration technologies. The core exam is 350-801 CLCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies). Concentration options include collaboration applications (300-810 CLICA) and cloud and edge solutions (300-820 CLCEI).²
• CCNP Service Provider: Tailored for engineers working in Internet Service Provider (ISP) and telecommunications environments. The core exam is 350-501 SPCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies). Concentrations focus on advanced routing (300-510 SPRI) and VPN services (300-515 SPVI).²
• DevNet Professional: This is the professional-level certification for automation and programmability experts. The core exam is 350-901 DEVCOR (Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs). This track uniquely highlights the cross-disciplinary nature of automation, as its concentration exams include the automation-focused exams from other CCNP tracks, such as 300-435 ENAUTO (Enterprise Automation) and 300-835 CLAUTO (Collaboration Automation).²
• CyberOps Professional: This is the advanced tier for SOC personnel and incident responders. The core exam is 350-201 CBRCOR (Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies), with a specialized concentration in conducting forensic analysis and incident response (300-215 CBRFIR).²

The structure of the CCNP, particularly the DevNet Professional track, reveals a fundamental shift in how Cisco views advanced technical skills. Automation is no longer treated as a separate, siloed discipline but as a horizontal skill layer that integrates across all other technology domains. The list of valid concentration exams for the DevNet Professional certification includes not only its own unique exams (like DEVOPS and DEVIOT) but also the automation exams from every other major track: ENAUTO (Enterprise), SAUTO (Security), DCAUTO (Data Center), and more.²⁶ This is a deliberate and strategic design. It means a professional can achieve a DevNet Professional certification by specializing in Enterprise Automation, Security Automation, or Data Center Automation. This structure incentivizes cross-training and breaks down traditional silos between network engineers and software developers. It encourages a security engineer to learn automation (SAUTO) and a developer to apply their skills within a specific domain like enterprise networking (ENAUTO). Through this framework, Cisco is signaling to the industry that the future “professional-level” engineer is a hybrid professional—one who can apply automation and programmability skills

within their domain of expertise. The CCNP program is explicitly designed to build and validate these hybrid skill sets.

Sub claims The CCNP’s “core + concentration” model is a powerful framework that empowers mid-career professionals to validate both broad domain knowledge and deep, role-specific expertise, making it a highly customizable and valuable credential.

The Pinnacle Tiers: What Does It Take to Become an Expert (CCIE) or Architect (CCAr)?

At the apex of the Cisco certification pyramid are the Expert and Architect levels, credentials that signify the highest echelons of technical mastery and strategic insight. Earning a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) is a globally recognized milestone that places an individual among the most elite network engineers in the world.²⁸ Beyond it lies the even more exclusive Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr), a certification focused on aligning complex technology solutions with executive-level business strategy.

The Expert level includes the implementation-focused CCIE and the design-focused CCDE, both requiring a challenging written qualification exam followed by an intensive, multi-hour practical lab exam.²⁸ The

Architect (CCAr) level is the ultimate credential, requiring a board review where candidates must defend a complex architecture against a panel of experts.³¹

The Expert Level: CCIE and CCDE

This tier is where professionals prove their mastery over a technology domain, moving beyond proficiency to true expertise.

• Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE): The CCIE is the gold standard for validating expert-level implementation, operation, and troubleshooting skills. It is not a test of memorization but a rigorous assessment of real-world problem-solving ability under intense time pressure.²⁸

• Prerequisites: While there are no formal prerequisites, Cisco strongly recommends that candidates have five to seven years of relevant hands-on experience before attempting the exams.³⁰
• Exam Process: Achieving a CCIE certification is a two-step process:

1. Written Qualification Exam: This is a 120-minute exam that covers the core technology concepts of a specific track at an advanced level. This is often the same core exam as the corresponding CCNP track (e.g., 350-401 ENCOR for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure).²⁸
2. 8-Hour Lab Exam: This is a grueling, hands-on practical exam that tests a candidate’s ability to design, deploy, operate, and optimize a complex network scenario in a timed environment. The format differs by track but generally involves modules for troubleshooting, diagnostics, and configuration.²⁸

• CCIE Tracks: The CCIE is offered in several specialized tracks, including Enterprise Infrastructure, Enterprise Wireless, Security, Collaboration, Data Center, and Service Provider, aligning with the CCNP specializations.²⁸
• Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE): While the CCIE focuses on the “how” (implementation), the CCDE is dedicated to the “why” (design). It is for expert-level network design engineers who can translate complex business requirements, budgets, and operational constraints into a functional and scalable network design.²⁸ The exam process is similarly rigorous, consisting of a written qualification exam followed by an 8-hour practical design scenario exam where candidates are evaluated on their ability to analyze design requirements and create solutions.

The Architect Level: CCAr

The Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) is the highest possible level of certification within the Cisco framework, sitting above both the CCIE and CCDE.⁴ It is designed for senior architects who can effectively translate high-level business strategies into evolutionary technical strategies that drive business outcomes.³¹

• Application & Board Review Process: The path to becoming a CCAr is fundamentally different from any other Cisco certification.

1. Application Submission: A candidate must first submit a detailed application that summarizes their project experience and other qualifications.³¹
2. Initial Interview: The application is reviewed by members of the Cisco Architecture Board, who then conduct an initial interview with the candidate.³¹
3. Architecture Challenge: Once approved, the candidate is given a complex architecture challenge based on a set of realistic business requirements.³¹
4. Live Board Review: The final step requires the candidate to present and defend their architectural solution live in front of the board members, who rigorously question and challenge their design decisions.³¹

The exclusivity of the CCAr is underscored by its cost and availability. The total fee for the board exam is $15,000 USD, and examinations are held infrequently, often only once or twice a year for just one or two candidates at a time.³¹

The extreme difficulty and cost associated with the CCIE and CCAr certifications serve a crucial business purpose for both Cisco and its partners. This high barrier to entry is intentional, as it creates a scarce, high-value pool of certified experts. This scarcity functions as a powerful quality signal in the market. For instance, to achieve and maintain Cisco Gold Partner status, organizations are required to have a specific number of CCIEs on staff.³³ For these partners, employing CCIEs is a badge of honor and a significant competitive differentiator used to win large, complex contracts. It signals to clients that they possess the highest level of certified expertise available, justifying premium pricing for their services. For the individual professional, this scarcity translates into immense market value. A CCIE holder is not just another engineer; they are a member of an elite group, which grants them significant negotiating power for salary, access to the most challenging and impactful projects, and a level of job security that is rare in the IT industry.²⁹ The difficulty of the certification is directly proportional to its value.

Sub claims The Expert and Architect tiers are not just certifications but career-defining achievements that signal unparalleled technical expertise (CCIE/CCDE) and strategic leadership (CCAr), creating a clear and valuable distinction in the global IT talent market.

The Strategic Value Proposition: Why Pursue Cisco Certifications in 2025 and Beyond?

In an industry characterized by constant change, the long-term value of any certification is a critical consideration. Beyond the technical knowledge gained, the true measure of a certification’s worth lies in its impact on salary, career advancement, and its ability to adapt to future technology trends. A data-driven analysis of the return on investment (ROI) from Cisco certifications reveals their continued relevance and strategic importance in the age of cloud and automation.

Cisco certifications provide a significant and quantifiable return on investment, with certified professionals earning 10-40% more than non-certified peers.¹ Salary data shows a clear progression with each certification level, and the program’s continuous evolution to include skills in automation, security, and cloud ensures its relevance and high demand among hiring managers for the foreseeable future.³⁶

Quantifiable Salary Impact

The data consistently demonstrates a strong and positive correlation between advancing through the Cisco certification levels and increased salary potential. The progression from one tier to the next corresponds with a significant jump in earning power.

• In the United States, the average salary for a CCNA holder is approximately $112,333, while a professional with a CCNP Enterprise certification averages $144,912. Reaching the expert level with a CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification pushes the average salary to $166,524.³⁸
• Specialization within a level also carries a premium. The CCNP Security is one of the highest-paying certifications in the entire portfolio, with an average U.S. salary of $168,159, reflecting the intense market demand for advanced cybersecurity expertise.³⁸
• Experience acts as a significant multiplier on the value of these certifications. A senior-level professional holding a CCNA can earn over $120,000, while a CCNP with more than 10 years of experience can command over $130,000.³⁹ The CCIE certification pushes this potential towards and often beyond the $200,000 mark for seasoned experts.²⁹

Career Advancement and Industry Demand

Beyond direct financial compensation, Cisco certifications are powerful tools for career progression.

• Hiring managers overwhelmingly view certification as an important criterion in the hiring process, with 91% reporting it as a key factor.³⁶ A CCNP or CCIE on a resume serves as a powerful differentiator in a competitive job market, often placing candidates at the front of the line for interviews and consideration for senior roles such as Network Architect, Senior Infrastructure Engineer, and Solutions Consultant.²⁹
• The framework itself provides a clear and logical path for advancement. The CCNP is explicitly viewed as a stepping stone to the CCIE, providing the deep, specialized knowledge required to successfully tackle the expert-level exams.³⁷

Future-Proofing and Adaptability

Cisco is actively evolving its curriculum to ensure its certifications remain relevant in the face of major industry shifts.

• The inclusion of automation and programmability in the core CCNA exam, the creation of the robust DevNet (soon to be Automation) track, and the heavy focus on SD-WAN and cloud connectivity in the CCNP Enterprise track all demonstrate a clear commitment to addressing modern network paradigms.¹²
• The mandatory 3-year recertification cycle, which can be fulfilled through either re-taking exams or earning Continuing Education (CE) credits, encourages professionals to stay current with these emerging technologies. This ensures that the credential remains a valuable and up-to-date indicator of skill over time.¹⁰

An interesting anomaly in recent salary data provides a powerful signal about current market dynamics. According to one 2025 salary report, the average U.S. salaries for the Associate-level DevNet Associate ($153,320) and CyberOps Associate ($130,611) are higher than the average for the more advanced CCNP Enterprise ($144,912).³⁸ While this may seem counterintuitive, it is not a flaw in the data but a reflection of a critical talent gap in the industry. The supply of professionals with proven, certified skills in the high-demand areas of network automation (DevNet) and security operations (CyberOps) is critically low compared to the immense and growing demand. Basic economic principles dictate that when demand for a skill far outstrips the available supply of qualified individuals, wages for that skill will be driven up, sometimes disproportionately. This suggests that while the traditional networking path (CCNA → CCNP Enterprise) offers a steady and reliable career progression, specializing early in high-growth, low-supply domains like automation and cybersecurity can provide a strategic shortcut to a higher salary bracket.

Sub claims The financial and career benefits of Cisco certifications are not only proven and substantial but are also adapting to market forces, with data showing a clear salary premium for professionals who specialize in high-demand areas like security and automation.
