Cisco CCIE Collaboration Certification

The new CCIE Collaboration certification has been redesigned to leverage the skills obtained at the new CCNP level. The certification covers core technology areas and validates your end-to-end lifecycle skills in complex collaboration solutions, from planning and design to operating and optimizing.

To earn the CCIE Collaboration certification you must complete two exams:

  • The qualifying exam, Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (350-801 CLCOR), focuses on your knowledge of collaboration solutions including infrastructure and design, protocols, codecs and endpoints, Cisco IOS XE gateway and media resources, Call Control, QoS and collaboration applications.   
  • The 8-hour, hands-on lab exam, CCIE Collaboration v3.0, covers the end-to-end lifecycle of complex collaboration solutions from designing and deploying to operating and optimizing.

To achieve CCIE certification, you must take and pass your lab exam within 3 years of passing your core exam.
