Recognizing the Sr. Level Network Designer
Introducing Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Certification
Responding to strong customer demand to assess and recognize Sr. Level Network Architecture skills in the market, Cisco is introducing a new premiere knowledge based certification focused on Network Infrastructure Design. – The Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE). The CCDE is an expert-level certification with content emphasis on expertise in network architecture, which is the capstone for Cisco’s design curriculum. In addition, passing the CCDE certification demands competencies of an experienced, seasoned, networking professional with a proven ability to interface with customers at the executive-level to ensure that business requirements are incorporated into successful designs.
What is a CCDE?
The successful CCDE-certified individual must have a demonstrated an ability to analyze and develop solutions which address planning, design, integration, optimization, operations, security and on-going support focused at the infrastructure of large 1000+ node customer networks.
The CCDE certification recognizes those with expert-level knowledge and skills in Infrastructure Design. The CCDE program is parallel to the CCIE program in terms of the expertise required and certification exam difficulty. It emphasizes network design principles and architectural theory of the network infrastructure and recognizes designers with the knowledge to assess network business requirements and translate them into technical specifications for successful designs.

Cisco created the CCDE program to respond to market demand in recognizing existing senior-level Network Designers and Architects while simultaneously providing senior Operations Engineers and Support Engineers with a validated professional development path into an Architectural role.
Cisco has found that organizations employing strong Network Designers and Architects consistently develop networks that are easier to maintain and troubleshoot. Properly executed, a well-designed network infrastructure aligned with a network-centric corporate business strategy leads to greater levels of efficiency and effectiveness – as well as potential competitive advantages like increased up-time, easier troubleshooting, increased performance, and simpler enhancements.
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 (www.cisco.com/go/ccde)
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.

CCDE Written Goes Live. I Passed. Can You?
Submitted by michaeljmorris on Tue, 01/22/2008 – 11:26pm.
Good news today. I passed the CCDE Written Beta Exam.
The question is – “can you?”
The beta period is over and Cisco, today, officially launched the CCDE Written exam. The CCDE Practical (lab) comes later this year.
In keeping with Cisco’s intent to have the CCDE at the same level of the CCIE tracks, the CCDE written exam is tough. Cisco is expecting about 30% passing rate on the written beta exam. Taking a look at the blueprint shows a lot of topics that may not be common knowledge. Do you know what “fate sharing” is? How about “EIGRP considerations for point-to-multipoint” interfaces?
It’s an impressive list that good network engineers and architects should know. As I wrote about before, the CCDE is separating the network engineers from the techs. Now, the CCIE makes you a technical expert. The CCDE makes you an engineer.
Will you step up to the challenge?

I’m glad you passed! I know a few others I talked to were taking the written at Networkers Barcelona, and I know at least two who passed this week, the first week the written exam is up and running. I spent a lot of time in Barcelona talking to folks about it, as well–we’re going to try and get more information about the practical out in the next month, I hope. We’re shooting to be ready for the beta at Networkers Orlando….
The practical has been hard to write, but we are halfway through the material we need to launch the beta, and we’re confident we can plow through the rest before then, get it all psychometrically reviewed, etc.
It would be great to hear about other’s experiences with this test.

Great Exam!

I do agree with Michael though, about half way through the exam I developed one heck of a headache!
I figured it was from staring at those high-quality monitors at the Vue testing center set at that “minimally necessary” resolution!
There were some questions with problems, but one expects that in a beta. All in all though I was impressed with the breadth of topics that were asked on the lab. Some thing I knew off the top of my head, other things I had to stare at a while, and a few (like Michael noted) I had absolutely no idea.
The only thing I’d add is a few “Layer 1″ questions when it comes to things like ethernet network design and cabling choices. While that’s never been a strong spot from many designers’ viewpoint, it’s definitely something that can impact the usefulness of a network in the long-run, and it also represents one of the most expensive pieces to fix and/or replace!
Anyway, enough on that fun. It was a good exam, and I’m looking forward to seeing the progress of things on the practical testing side!
Great work thus far!

thats great news… I’ve tried time and again to study for the CCIE but more often than not I stumble because I’m more interested in how and why BGP works than – as you said it – which command to use to adjust timers. I’ve been out of the field for about two years and looking to get back into it and the CCDE seems like the perfect way to show prospective employers that I have a good grasp of the basics…
Looking at the recommended reading list, would you suggest the more important ones that should be read first and then which ones can be glanced over? I’ve finished the TCP/IP routing vol 1 and 2 already…
