[cisco-voip] Expert-Level Cert Renewal

[Ryan Ratliff (rratliff)]

Author content is one that I will definitely be interested in. It may be for the folks that help review the exam content, which I think includes some people outside Cisco.

It's kind of both for me, Ryan.  Between the time it takes to prepare for the exam and the cost of the exam, some of us might find it cheaper to earn the credits.  Especially if you're already going to Cisco Live regularly (I'm slated to earn 19 credits this year), and you author content regularly (not really what I'm known for, but I've written a thing or two).

I haven't had my CCIE long enough to get Emeritus like you, but I was very close to just letting it go inactive, because I no longer believe in the process.  This change might just be the breath of life for the CCIE.  Maybe...

I hadn’t heard about this until Dan’s email but it seems to me the idea isn’t so much about providing a way to recert without taking the exam but to let folks who are paying for the classes to expand their expertise get credit for it.

Given the current state of the collab written (it’s driven me to Emeritus) I imagine this will also drive up consumption of some of these classes.

I recommend you look through the credit options.  So far most of the courses I found range between $500 and $1000 and they only give you a max of 40 credits.  So this could be a great idea but execution not so clean.  It's still significantly cheaper to just pay and take the test again versus the $3k or so I estimated it will cost me to take classes and pass based on points alone.

Looks like there's a $300 admin fee (basically what you'd pay for the written exam i think), and then options for credits, including cisco live sessions which is kinda nice.

This seems like great news, as I loath the current CCIE Collaboration Written exam.  Which, I have by the way, submitted an application to help improve it, but no one has ever gotten back to me on.

I'll look into this more, but as long as there's no catch (like $5,000 in cost), this is a great alternative to taking the written.

Some of you might be interested to hear that Cisco has announced a new method of renewing one’s expert-level certification. While taking a written exam is still an option, those needing to renew their CCIE/CCDE will be allowed to enroll themselves in select classes, online and in-person, which will count towards renewal credits. Renewal will require 100 credits in total and applies to both active and suspended status cert holders.
