IT Certification

Cisco’s e-mail received a few days ago to inform the CCIE R & S lab exam variants. “Upcoming revision to CCIE R & S Lab certification will become effective on October 18, 2009.”

The new version is “CCIE R & S v4.0″, in October 18, 2009 before the old version of CCIE R & S V3.0 can also continue to use it. However, now began to prepare for the CCIE R & S friend, V4 version of the direct preparation for it. V3 you are not having enough time to the.

The official statement is:

Candidates who have exams scheduled October 18, 2009 or later should prepare using the CCIE R & S v4.0 Written Exam Topics (blueprints), CCIE R & S v4.0 Lab Exam Topics and the CCIE R & S v4.0 Lab Equipment and Software Versions.

I have a google to find an official of the CCIE R & S Lab variant of a more detailed summary of the station. Invoke its content, only to prepare for CCIE R & S lab friends to share this information. If you need to look at the details can be Click here to visit

Not too much to explain what CCIE is, CCIE how to apply, CCIE how to prepare, CCIE like to do a topic. If you do not know, please google. Here, I simply said that the main changes and check it out now.

6.Lab Locations

In addition, Cisco has introduced Mobile CCIE Labs to provide greater access to Lab testing while greatly reducing travel time and expenses in regions without a CiscoCCIE lab location.
