Upcoming v4.0 test includes hands-on troubleshooting, MPLS and VPN networking.

Cisco has revised the certification requirements for CCIE Routing & Switching (CCIE R&S)--the expert level certification for network engineers.

The new certification standards reflect the job skills employers are looking for at the expert level and 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. The revised CCIE R&S v4.0 exams are scheduled for release on October 18, 2009 and will immediately replace the currently available v3.0 exams.

The Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE R&S has been updated to fully align to the new CCIE R&S certification standards. The Cisco 360 Learning Program is the only expert training currently aligned to the CCIE Certification changes and authorized by Cisco.
