An opportunity currently exists to enable your company and your partners to prepare for new releases of the CCNA Voice and CCVP Voice certifications based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager v8.0 functionality. Learning@Cisco is seeking skilled Cisco CCVP® and CCIE Voice professionals to attend free alpha teach classes in the United States between April 26th and May 21st for the following courses:

* Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1)
* Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 2 (CIPT2)
* Implementing Cisco Voice Communications and QoS (CVOICE)
* Integrating Cisco Unified Communications Applications (CAPPS)
* Administering Cisco Voice and Unified Communications (ICOMM)

I've just started studying for the QoS exam, should I abandon ship and wait for the official word?

sorry guys looks like it was already posted here http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccvp/53080-news-new-improved-ccvp.html

I'll still take some advice though!

I'd still study and take the QOS exam, assuming you did ONT for your NP it shouldnt pose too much a problem for you. And as I said I assume they will run the two paths side by side initially so plenty of time to wrap it up.
Obviously untill it's officially announced we have no real idea.

You still have a long while before the old track is phased out (the new tests aren’t even listed on the cert portal yet). I would keep at it – it’ll be forever before the training material catches up to the new path anyways. Heck, the last CBT for CCVP v6.x tack (CIPT2) was only released a few months ago!!!

I agree, since this are not even 'official' yet, you have lots of time. Even once they come out, there will likely be 6-18months of overlap that you can still take old exams.
