Cisco Certified Network Professional Certification Training in Delhi - FAQs

Q: What is being changed on the CCNP exams? What percentage of the topics are new?

A. The certification expectations that are validated on the CCNP exams have been revised to align with the job-role expectations of network engineers at the professional level. Candidates can view a list of the exam topics by clicking the selected exam at CCNP on the Cisco Learning Network. Cisco does not release information on the percentage or number of questions on specific exam topics; candidates should be prepared to answer questions on all of the topics that are listed.

Q: Now that the revised CCNP has been announced, can I still take the previous CCNP exams? How long will they be valid?

A: The last day for candidates to take the BSCI, BCMSN, COMP, ISCW and ONT exams will be July 31, 2010. Passing scores on retired exams will be accepted until their expiration date—three years from the date the exam was taken.

Q. The CCIP certification requires the BSCI exam. The CCDP certification requires the BSCI and BCMSN exams. Will these exams still be available for CCIP and CCDP candidates?

A. No, the BSCI and BCMSN exams will be retired and replaced with the ROUTE and SWITCH exams, respectively, in all related Cisco certifications. Students who are working toward their CCIP or CCDP certifications should refer to the mix-and-match tables above for further information.

Q. Is there a specific order that the exams need to be taken for the new CCNP?

A. The exams may be taken in any order, but the recommended order for the courses is to take ROUTE and SWITCH before the TSHOOT course, which incorporates the knowledge from ROUTE and SWITCH into the lab scenarios that are used for course work.

Q: What is being changed in the routing exam and course?

• Integrating the latest WLAN devices into the campus infrastructure

Q: What is the CCNP TSHOOT beta exam? Does it count toward CCNP certification?

A: The TSHOOT beta is an early release of the TSHOOT certification exam, which is used to determine the predictive ability of the exam questions. It is the same length and covers the same topics as the final exam. Candidates who pass a beta exam receive full credit, however scores on beta exams are not immediately available. Candidates must wait six to eight weeks, until the beta analysis is complete, to receive their scores. The TSHOOT beta exam will be released sometime around February 16 and be available through March 26, 2010 at a discounted price of $50 USD. As an incentive to schedule, the first 150 beta exams completed will be provided free of charge. Candidates may attempt a beta exam only one time.

Q: Which question formats will the CCNP exams include?

A: Candidates will see a variety of question formats on the new CCNP exams. The question formats will include traditional multiple-choice questions, drag-and-drop type questions, and simulation questions.

Q: If I take the new CCNP courses in routing (ROUTE) or switching (SWITCH) before the new exams are released, can I take the current exams?

A: Students who take the new and updated routing course (ROUTE) or the new and updated switching course (SWITCH) will still be allowed to take the existing BSCI (routing) and BCMSN (switching) exams until July 31, 2010. The new ROUTE and SWITCH exams are scheduled to be released in mid-March of 2010, and the TSHOOT exam is scheduled to be released in April of 2010. Because the new courses go into more depth than the existing courses, students should be well prepared to take the existing exams and achieve certification.

Q: What happens if I have already passed some of the current CCNP requirements? Which of the new exams do I need to take?

A: You will have until July 31, 2010 to take any of the current series of CCNP exams to achieve certification. As of August 1, 2010, the BSCI, BCMSN, COMP, ISCW and ONT exams will be retired. Passing scores on exams are valid for three years from the date the exam is taken and will continue to count towards certification.

Q: I have passed only the ISCW or ONT exam, not both. Should I try to take the other exam before July 31, 2010? *OR* I have taken the ISCW (or ONT) course, but not the exam. Should I try to take the exam before July 31, 2010?

A: If you can pass both the ISCW and ONT exams by July 31, 2010, before they are retired, you will not have to take the TSHOOT exam to achieve certification. If, on the other hand, you do not think that you have a good chance of passing both exams before July 31, 2010, then you should focus your time on preparing for the TSHOOT exam, as you will not have an opportunity to retake ISCW or ONT after July 31, 2010. Do not waste your time and money trying to pass just one of the exams, because one is not enough to waive the requirement to pass TSHOOT beyond July 31, 2010.

Q: What is the CCNP TSHOOT beta exam? Does it count toward CCNP certification?

A: The TSHOOT beta is an early release of the TSHOOT certification exam, which is used to determine the predictive ability of the exam questions. It is the same length and covers the same topics as the final exam. Candidates who pass a beta exam receive full credit, however scores on beta exams are not immediately available.
