I guess the are tired of people taking the composite to save money

I can't find any mention of this on the Cisco website, except for the link to a PDF that was in the Cisco Networking Academy Announcement email -- and the CCIE Lab Schedule payment link which now wants $1400 for my next Security Lab attempt.

How much was the lab exam earlier?

Darthn3ss

so how much did CCNP prices go up?

mikej412

The CCIE Lab had been $1250 and the CCIE Written had been $300

I logged into Pearson/Vue and check some of the Professional Level exams -- and they are $150. But its been a while since I took one -- didn't they used to be $125? Or have they been $150 all along?

Maybe they only raised the prices if you were a Cisco Network Academy Student

Update -- yep, Professional Level had been $125 -- but not sure why they didn't mention the increase if it was also just done now.

Maybe they can buy some generators or other alternative power sources to keep those CCIE labs running at all times.
