CCIE Certification

[terence9033]

Guys, i have a question,

Currently i obtained CCNP Enterprise.

I wants to move forward to obtain my CCIE but i was told to pass (ENCOR 350-401) exam first before taking the lab.

My question is, isn't ENCOR 350-401 CCNP ? if i already has CCNP why do i still need to take that.

Tjanks in advance

Currently i obtained CCNP Enterprise.

Do you have 350-401 part of that, then you can directly book the Lab for CCIE

Hi i have

300-115 Switch
300-101 Route
300-135 tshoot

Which converted to CCNP Enterprise

I do not have 350-401.

Do i still need to take that?

when did you passed, i do not remember correctly  if you passed some time back, that time it was CCIE RNS Written still valid exam for the Lab.

After Feb 2020 - if you passed 350-XXX then you can take CCIE EI Lab, yes for now you need to take that exam to take CCIE EI Lab.

Hi,

I passed

Route, switch & troubleshoot on 21 Jan 2020
My CCNP is valid to 2023 Jan 21.

In my profile it says im convert to CCNP Enterprise.

Im wondering if i can skip 350-401 to proceed with CCIE lab since i already
has CCNP Enterprise.

not sure you can take it, try booking Lab see if that allow you.

Yes, if your CCNP Enterprise is valid, which looks like it is, your may skip 350-401 and proceed to study for CCIE lab.   You can check your certs via cert portal. Also, more info is at CLN, Cisco learning network, official site for cert info.

Use BB link to CCIE Booking portal; if you can login and book CCNP Enterprise lab, you are all set - of course still you must learn a lot of material to pass the lab (not only new stuff but add on to what u know from CCNP).

CCIE lab is hard to pass; most of us will not pass on 1st take; or 2nd one. it may take 2-3 years to fully learn the lab material.

Best of Luck!
