FAQ: Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Certification 
New Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Certification Program Summary
Cisco’s new CCDE certification identifies networking professionals who have expert-level knowledge
and skills in network design. CCDE is an expert-level Cisco certification and parallel to the Cisco CCIE®
certification in terms of difficulty and expertise.
The CCDE certification emphasizes network design principles and theory for the infrastructure of the
network. It also recognizes the expertise and technical acumen of designers who can assess and translate
network business requirements into technical specifications that in turn are incorporated into successful
network designs.

Q: What types of knowledge and skills are assessed by the CCDE exams?
A: The CCDE exams assess the ability of highly experienced, advanced network designers and architects
to understand and manipulate design scenarios for an IP routing infrastructure. CCDE candidates must
also be able to create “implementation-ready” technical specifications and other work products that can be
used by network engineers for implementation in large-scale IP networks.
Q: Who are the best candidates for CCDE accreditation?
A: The CCDE certification is intended for candidates who have day-to-day responsibilities for creating
work products that cover IP routing network infrastructure design. Candidates should also have:
• A minimum of seven years job experience in network engineering
• A thorough understanding of networking infrastructure principles
• An in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints
Q: Why was the CCDE certification created?
A: Cisco created the CCDE certification in response to strong customer demand. Employers want a way
to identify highly experienced network designers and architects who can evaluate business requirements
and create appropriate design solutions for the network infrastructure. Employers also want network
designers who can address all aspects of existing and new networking technologies and trends.
Q: How does a candidate attain CCDE certification?
A: Attaining CCDE certification requires successfully passing two exams:
• CCDE Qualification Exam: 352- 001 (ADVDESIGN)
• CCDE Practical Exam: (TBD)
A candidate must pass the CCDE Qualification Exam before registering for the CCDE Practical
Exam.
