CCVP Instant Answers

The CCVP certification recognizes the increased importance placed on IT professionals of today who are responsible for integrating voice technology into underlying network architectures. Individuals who earn a CCVP certification can help create a telephony solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable. Earning a CCVP certification validates a robust set of skills in implementing, operating, configuring, and troubleshooting a converged IP network. The certification content focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Unified CallManager), quality of service (QoS), gateways, gatekeepers, IP phones, voice applications, and utilities on Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst switches.

CCVP Recertification

CCVP certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, pass any 642 exam that is part of the professional level curriculum after 01/01/06, or pass a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.
Considering that study material and Dumps are available for 642-432, it’s best to stick to it. This exam retires on the 26th of July 2008. So hopefully you should have enough time for this exam.

The Study Material and Dumps for the new 642-436 Exam will not be available any time soon. So it’s defnitely a risk.

But then again now the CCVP has been divided into two distinct categories.

642-453 GWGK Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers (GWGK)
=====================================================================

If you are going for the first track you have no choice but to go with 642-436 as your first exam. When I started CCVP there was only 1 track for it. So far I have completed the following Exams:

1. 642-642 QoS v2.2 Quality of Service (QoS)
2. 642-432 CVOICE Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE v5.0) AND Cisco Voice over IP fundamentals (CVF v1.0)
3. 642-444 CIPT 4.1 Cisco IP Telephony Part 1 (CIPT1 4.1) AND Cisco IP Telephony Part 2 (CIPT2 4.1)

AND now I am preparing for the final 2 which are:

4. 642-453 GWGK Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers (GWGK)
5. 642-426 TUC Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Communications Systems (TUC v1.0)

As yet I still have’nt found the Official Study Guide for the TUC Exam. I started preparing for my CCVP with this Track in mind from December 2007. Ofcourse for the new aspiring CCVPs about to start this certification it is going to be an intersting debate as to which particular track suits whom ?

Unified Communications News:

By Michael Morisy, News Writer
18 Mar 2008 | SearchUnifiedCommunications.com

Cisco Systems has unveiled details of its Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP) certification refresh, which updates Cisco’s CCVP training courses and tests to fall in line with the latest Unified Communications Manager platform, as well as focusing on more real-world usage in the lab.

This focus on maguide both the CCVP training and testing resemble live networks is part of a larger shift by Cisco to make its programs focus on the needs of professionals rather than training to the device, said Mary Ng, unified communications portfolio manager for Learning@Cisco.

“It’s very typical in our vendor-based industry to do product training,” she said. “[Cisco's certification program] is now focused on the needs of the students in their natural worguide environment.”

That means moving from training for the unique commands and tools that Cisco Unified Communications Manager offers to demonstrating how the platforms operate in a live network, with more role-based implementations and real-world monitoring exercises.

“People will learn a lot more efficiently and transfer what they learn as it relates to their job,” said Christine Yoshida, portfolio marketing manager for Learning@Cisco.

Ng added that Cisco was worguide hard to keep its training and certification relevant by considering the entire lifecycle of a deployment instead of just the installation and initial management.

Of particular importance in this update was mobile VoIP, an emerging technology that many networks still struggle to provide, but one likely to become more commonplace as more dual-mode handsets hit the marketplace.

Other topics newly covered or covered in more depth:

Management of single-site, centralized and multi-site network deployments
Signaling protocols
Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE)
Enhanced dial plans
H.323 and SIP gatewaysCall Admission Control (CAC)
There will continue to be two tracks to CCVP certification: One for those using the newer Cisco Unified Communications Manager, now in version 6.0, and another for those still worguide with Cisco Unified Call Manager v4.1. Both paths share the newly updated QoS and TUC exams, the former not having been refreshed in three years.

Eventually CCVP certification training for Unified Call Manager will be phased out, but that is still on the horizon.

“Over time, it might be two years
