Reform and Adjustment of the New Version of CCIE Certification Examination in 2020

| Updated on March 27, 2024

How about the direction of the new version of CCIE Certification Exam in 2020? As we all know, 2020 is a very special year for the world and for Cisco Certification. Since June 2019, I believe many people have paid attention to the news of the Cisco Certification System Upgrade. On February 24th, 2020, the upgraded system of Cisco Certification will come upon us.

CCIE click this here will change a lot in 2020. The first is that the Routing and Switching Direction is out of the historical stage. This direction can be said to be the first choice for many engineers, because it is a relatively basic direction in the IT industry, and many people have feelings for it. However, after 2020, the Routing and Switching Direction will be changed to the Enterprise Direction. So this upgrade will not have much impact on the engineers who already obtained CCIE Routing and Switching Direction Certificate, because the existing Routing and Switching Certificate will be automatically upgraded to Enterprise Infrastructure Certificate after the new certification is released.

In addition, in 2020, CCIE Design Direction will be changed to DEVNET Direction, CCDA will be changed to DEVNET Associate, and CCDP will be changed to DEVNET Professional. Another major change is that Enterprise Infrastructure (former R & S) and Enterprise Wireless (former Wireless) will test the same written examination of CCIE, and the written examination of CCIE and CCNP is the same.

It is also worth noting that according to the original plan, the new version of Cisco will be officially launched on February 24th, 2020. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, the migration time of CCIE Lab Examination and CCIE Certification in 2020 will be extended from February 24th, 2020 to April 27th, 2020. This means that you can take an existing CCIE Lab exam before April 27th, or choose to take a new CCIE Lab Exam on or after April 27th. However, the delay is only for CCIE Lab Test, and other contents related to the revision will be carried out on February 24th as planned.

If candidates want to take the current CCIE Lab Test before April 27th, or want to take the new CCIE Lab Test on or after April 27th, they may need to wait. However, Cisco Officials said that priority examinations will be arranged for those directly affected by the closure of Lab in Beijing and Hong Kong.

In 2020, the new version of CCIE has ushered in great changes. It is not only a challenge but also an opportunity for engineers who want to obtain CCIE Certificate. I hope that every engineer can obtain the certificates they have dreamed of!
