CCDP after CCNP

Somik

Hi I've received CCNP lately and now want to take some rest and continue with CCDP. I know that I need to take CCDA 200-310 and ARCH 300-320 exams, buut my question is about timing.
What time I have for those exams and can still reuse passed ROUTE and SWITCH exams?
I've passed:
ROUTE - Sept 2017
SWITCH - Dec 2017
TSHOOT - Mar 2018
So when the latest I need to pass CCDA and ARCH?

3 years from the latest date.
They will all renew again when you were to pass ARCH but not the CCDA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, even though I have CCNP R&S, I need to pass CCDA first then take CCDP to officially get complete CCDP cert? If so, can I take CCDP first then CCDA afterwards?

Yes, you just want be officially a CCDP until you are a CCDA. However, the Arch test will renew your CCNP once you pass it.
