| CCDE written Bootcamp Content |
We will prepare you
on all topics you will face in the CCDE written exam (ADVDESIGN
352-002). Our goal is to make sure, our students pass the Cisco CCDE
written certification exam on the first attempt.
| Who Should Attend |
Candidates who want
to become CCDE (Cisco Certified Design Expert) certified.
| CCDE Prerequisites |
There are no formal
prerequisites for CCDE certification; other professional
certifications or training courses are not required. It is expected
that the candidate will have an in-depth understanding of the
topics in the exam blueprints, a minimum of seven years job
experience, and a thorough understanding
of networking infrastructure principles.
| CCDE Course Objectives |
Expert Level Network
Design and Architecture Experience
CCDE Assesses advanced Network Infrastructure Design Principles and
Fundamentals for large networks. A CCDE can demonstrate an ability to
develop solutions which address planning, design, integration,
optimization, operations, security and ongoing support focused at the
infrastructure level for customer networks.
After passing the written exam, delegates can then proceed to the CCDE
Lab Boot Camp which will prepare them for the practical lab exam.
