Cisco Design Certification Migration

The Cisco Design certification path has primarily been focused on the routing and switching aspects of a network, but networks today are more converged and other technologies have to be considered when designing a network.  The new Cisco Enterprise certification path incorporates design as an elective concentration whilst still focusing on routing and switching and wireless at the core.  

The exams for the new certification program will not be available until the 24th February 2020 however any exams you complete in the existing program will be rewarded when the new certifications become available on the 24th February 2020.
