What are the exam requirements to attain CCDE?
To attain a CCDE certification a candidate will be tasked with passing two exams; a Qualification Exam, and a Practical exam. Similar to the CCIE program, there are no prerequisites to taking the Qualification exam and it is a 2 hour multiple-choice exam available at any worldwide Pearson VUE testing center. The Qualification exam, (ADVDESIGN) 352-001, assesses fundamental knowledge of networking theories, principles, protocols and technology.
Visit the CCDE program site for more details regarding the Qualification Exam.
The second exam, the practical exam, is still currently in development.
It will be an eight-hour, practical scenario-based exam available in late 2008. Bookmark the CCDE programs page as more details are expected to follow as the development team progresses.
The qualification exam is now available at Pearson VUE testing facilities worldwide.
