Cisco Revising CCIE R&S Certification Standards

Tiger Image

With input from enterprise customers across industries, Cisco is revising the certification requirements for CCIE Routing & Switching. The new certification standards are available on the Cisco Learning Network at CCIE R&S v4.0 written exam topics and CCIE R&S v4.0 lab exam topics. Exams are scheduled for release on October 18, 2009 and will immediately replace the currently available v3.0 exams. Candidates who plan to take their exams on October 18, 2009 or later, should prepare using the v4.0 exam topics. The Cisco 360 Learning Program will also be updated to support the development of the news skills required for CCIE R&S certification.


Refresh of CCIE Security Lab Exam is Now Live

Effective April 20, 2009, important content changes have been implemented in the CCIE Security Lab exam. Candidates should prepare using the v3.0 Lab Equipment and Software versions and v3.0 Blueprint. After April 20, 2009, students should no longer use the v2.0 Lab Equipment and Software versions and v2.0 blueprint as they have formally reached end of life.

Updates to the CCIE Lab and Written Exam Question Format and Scoring

Effective February 1, 2009, Cisco will introduce a new type of question format to CCIE Routing and Switching lab exams. In addition to the live configuration scenarios, candidates will be asked a series of four or five open-ended questions, on the computer screen, drawn from a pool of questions based on the material covered on the lab blueprint. No new topics are being added.


Candidates will also see two other changes to the CCIE written exams. Effective February 17th, 2009, candidates will be required to answer each question before moving on to the next question. In other words, candidates will no longer be allowed to skip a question and come back to it at a later time. Finally, there will be an update to the overall score report. The overall exam score and the exam passing score will now be reported on a scale from 300-1000.
