What is the CCDE? 

The Cisco CCDE Certification regarded as the expert-level certification for which the network designers have been waiting for. Similar to the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification, the CCDE also requires clearing both a two-hour computerized test as well as a full-day, hands-on lab/practical exam, which the candidates are required to complete at a Cisco testing facility. The candidates are required to first clear the computerized test before they could schedule the lab exam. 


The exam name for the CCDE written test is believed to be the ADVDESIGN, and that's what they would be needed to know about how to design advanced networks. Cisco CCDE Certification would be recommended that you are also required to have about five to seven years of experience in designing advanced networks before appear for taking the test. The exam would be lasting about two hours, and the exam blueprint would be covering just about anything that anyone who could ever think of related to complex networks. In addition, clearing the CCDE written exam would recertify that any other Cisco certifications you have, which would be included the CCDA, CCNA, and CCIE. There are very few institutions which provide training regarding this certification, one which is SPOTO. So you could join it and get trained with their expert trainers. After clearing the computerized exam, you would be able to schedule your lab exam at a handful of Cisco offices. However, Cisco hasn't announced currently any specific locations and time slots for the practical exam. Just like the CCIE practical exam, the CCDE practical exam would also be an eight-hour situation-based exam that would be testing your ability to identify, create, and manage advanced infrastructure design solutions for large-scale networks. Having taken more than one CCIE hands-on practical exam would definitely be considered being quite grueling for giving the CCDE practical exam. 


Four reasons to consider the CCDE: 

Considering pursuing the new CCDE certification and thinking that you should consider it as well. Basically here are the four reasons in order to think about it: 

  1. • Unlike a CCDP, CCNP, or MCSE certification, the CCDE doesn't have a long list of tests that the candidate would take. You would only have to take one written as well as one hands-on exam. 
  2. • For those of us who are enjoying in designing complex networks instead of tweaking as well as troubleshooting complex network security or routing, the CCDE might be something that would interests you more than other certifications. 
  3. • Cisco Certification would have done quite a great job representing, marketing, and improving the CCIE Certification. Because of this, I would be thinking the CCDE would become highly recognizable, just as the CCIE is considered today. 
  4. • The CCDE Certification would prove that you are going to design some of the most advanced and complex networks in the world today. The documentation of these skills could be considered as invaluable to your career. 


Conclusion 

The CCDE Certification is considered to be quite an exciting, new expert-level Cisco design certification that would be similar to the CCIE. Because it's brand-new, study material as well as test information that would be limited to what's available on Cisco's Web site CCDE. The CCDE is considered to be the pinnacle of Cisco advanced network design expertise. Cisco network design professionals that have been asking for this certification for many years, as well as only time, would to telling about how popular it will become.
