CCAr is the highest level of accreditation achievable within the Cisco certification program.
The Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) certification is for senior network infrastructure architects who produce technical specifications for the network to support business objectives. The curriculum focuses on understanding the business strategy and translating it into technical infrastructure requirements.
Prerequisites
Valid Cisco CCDE certification can act as a prerequisite, along with a thorough understanding of networking infrastructure principles.
There are no formal training programs available for the CCAr certification. However, candidates wishing to attain their CCAr certification must meet before an in-person board made of Cisco-appointed exam committee members, during which the candidate defends their proposed network solution.
