10 Things Partners Need To Know About Cisco's New Road To Certifications

Recertification

Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs) and Cisco Certified Design Experts (CCDEs) with an active, emeritus or suspended status can recertify by earning credits.

"This is open to all people who are certified with Cisco, but even in that suspended mode as well as emeritus – they can really become active in this program. That's a very big win for CCIE's who maybe didn't find the time or focus to study for the exam … they can get back to active mode to become fully certified," said Antonella Corno, senior manager of product strategy for Learning@Cisco.
