    Cisco will give you 6 months of notice when changing certification requirements.

    They give you warning, but not necessarily 6 months. The CCSP changes were announced on Sept 19 last year and the last day to take the retiring exams was Feb 2nd -- about 4.5 months warning there.

    If you believe the exams are changing -- don't buy all the Cisco Press books for all the exams in advance -- I had all the CCSP books, and changed my cert plan to squeeze the CCSP in.

    In the Cisco IPTV shows on certification, Cisco says that they give you 6 months notice. If they don't, I think a note to Don Field may be in order.

    I don't believe everything I hear on TV.... I guess I'll add IPTV to that too. icon_lol.gif

    The last date to register for those retiring CCSP exams was Dec 19th -- 3 months after the announcement.

    The one thing I remember from an IPTV thing was -- you had until the schedule time of your testing company to complete the exams. Prometric allows me to schedule 6 weeks in advance... and that worked out to the Feb 2nd date somehow -- 6 weeks from the last date to register. If the testing centers are allowed to schedule exams 3 months out (but only choose to use 1/2 that time) -- that could account for the "6 months" that was 4.5 months.

    Maybe its 6 months from the first rumors? .... I wasn't paying to the CCSP and didn't see any rumors prior to the official announcement. icon_lol.gif

    Those exams seem kind of lite on content for the CCNP -- more like they are channel partner exams. Or, maybe the entire R&S track is changing to a "Converged Network" track? I guess I could see MPLS moving to the CCNP someday....

    I better go take my last CCVP exam before they change that on me.
