CCIE Certification
The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE CertificationTM) program sets the professional benchmark for internetworking expertise. CCIEs are recognized for advanced internetworking knowledge. By attaining CCIE Certification status, an individual identifies him or herself with a level of excellence in our rapidly expanding technical arena. To be sure that a CCIE credential is a dynamic badge of distinction, the CCIE program introduced a recertification requirement. The recertification requirement ensures that the CCIE credential remains a meaningful measure of individual technical know-how for as long a CCIE is active in the industry.
