Every change is an opportunity!

24/02/2020 – The beginning of a new time calculation in Cisco's exam system

Attention! Starting February 24, 2020, Cisco's exam system will undergo a radical transformation. What does this actually mean? Certain previously existing certifications will be discontinued, and others will be transformed .

If you have started working towards your current certification, feel free to continue, but it's good to know: you have until February 23, 2020 to take the current exams.

What are Cisco's policies?

Cisco offers a multi-level, build-on-one certification path based on knowledge level and professional specification (e.g. routing & switching, security, collaboration, data centers, etc.).

What transformations are in prospect?

Are you interested in automation, security, and programmability? The new CCNA program is designed to prepare you for today's associate-level jobs in IT technologies. The program covers a wide range of IT career fundamentals. An exam and training will help you do this.

The new CCNA certification covers a number of topics:

  • Network basics
  • Network access
  • IP connection
  • IP services
  • Security basics
  • Automation and programmability

Cisco certification levels

From Entry level to Architect

Being human is not an exam (...),
it is not something that someone passes or fails.

Neil Gaiman

Are you just getting to know the world of Cisco? In that case, the Entry level is for you. In the new system that will come into effect on February 24, 2020, only CCT (CCT Data Center and CCT Routing & Switching) is represented. This will allow you to become a certified technician .

The Associate level, where we previously distinguished 10 certifications, has now been reduced to three. Don't be fooled by the quantity, as these certifications contain more knowledge. The DevNet Associate (DEVASC 200-901); CCNA Cyber ​​Ops and CCNA represent the core.

You could previously earn eight certifications at the Professional level, now that means six:

  • DevNet Professional (DEVCOR 350-901)
  • CCNP Enterprise (350-401 ENCOR)
  • CCNP Collaboration (CLCOR 350-801)
  • Cisco Data Center (350-601 DCCOR)
  • Cisco Security (350-701 SCOR)
  • Cisco Service Provider (350-501 SPCOR)
