Why do I need to upgrade my certification?

CCNA Certifications

  • Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN)
  • Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
  • Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN)
  • Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT)

What if I'm in the process of achieving my CCNP certification?
If you have completed part of your recommended training and #640-4XX exams for CCNP certification, you should complete any remaining exams with the #640-5XX CCNP exams. Please note the recommended training for the #640-5XX exams are different, so candidates who took the original curriculum may require some additional self-study or may choose to take the new recommended training courses. All recommended training will be available as instructor-led and e-learning courses. (Cisco copy right 2000)

What if I'm already CCNP certified?
If you achieved your CCNP certification with the #640-4XX exams, you are still CCNP certified. You do not need to certify again with #640-5XX CCNP exams. The only difference in the certifications will be the actual date of certification. This date will become important once Cisco announces its recertification policy. However, if you choose to certify again with the #640-5XX exams, you will have a more current date of certification in Certification Tracking System.(Cisco copy right 2000)
