By providing objective validation of your skills and expertise, Cisco Career Certifications are a compelling demonstration of the value you can bring to current and future employers. Cisco offers five levels of career certifications: Entry, Associate, Professional, Expert, and Architect as well as Specialist certifications that enhance core networking knowledge in specific technologies. Seven different paths of technology focus areas are available: Routing and Switching, Design, Network Security, Service Provider, Storage Networking, Voice, and Wireless.
Give your career a power boost with an official Cisco certification that shows the world you rank among the most highly skilled network professionals. You can prepare for a range of Cisco certification exams, including the entry-level CCENT™, the associate level CCNA® and CCDA®, the Cisco Professionals Certifications (CCNP®, CCDP®, CCVP®, CCSP®, and CCIP®), Cisco Expert Certifications (CCIE® and CCDE™), and Specialist certifications. For an additional fee, you can sign up for more in-depth training at the Certification Labs and Technical Seminars.
CCIE certification sessions include technical seminars and breakouts in routing and switching, security, voice storage, and service provider. They also include 2-hour Technical Breakout Sessions, featuring specialized information on the new CCDE and CCIE Wireless certifications. You will receive valuable insight into the lab environment, technologies tested, troubleshooting approaches, and testing techniques directly from CCIE proctors. Topics discussed in the technical seminars and breakouts are relevant to what prospective CCIE and CCDE candidates will experience in written and lab examinations.
Using lab equipment, attendees spend four hours working through advanced scenarios for the CCIE Lab Exam, written by session mentors. Attendees work through a challenging lab guide that covers topics including an actual CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam. Each user has access to live equipment in a web-based, integrated user environment and will be able to gauge testing performance with an online assessment engine that provides point-by-point feedback, as well as insight into the question objectives. These labs are designed for anyone earning a CCIE Routing and Switching certification. There are no special requirements or prerequisites necessary to participate.
