The Path to Become a CCIP
Published on 04/23,2009
As you can see in The Cisco Learning Network, there are four levels of Cisco certifications (Entry, Associate, Professional, and Expert) to enhance your professional credentials. Specialist certifications are also offered to verify focused knowledge in many topics.
According to Cisco, "Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional (CCIP®) validates advanced knowledge and skills required to manage service provider infrastructures. With a CCIP certification, a network professional working in a service provider organization demonstrates competencies in infrastructure IP networking solutions. The CCIP curriculum includes IP routing, IP QoS, BGP, and MPLS."
- PREREQUISITES - A valid CCNA certification is required as the prerequisites for the CCIP certification exam.
- TRAINING - Cisco recommends four courses for assistance in passing this certification exam; Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI), Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS), Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP), and Implementing Cisco MPLS (MPLS). These courses are available through many learning partners in physical classroom and virtual classroom classes.
- ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND REVIEW - Additional training and practice questions are available in The Cisco Learning Network CCIP.
