Cisco is expanding its capacity for delivering the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam through the CCIE mobile lab initiative to offer more convenient testing to those pursuing CCIE certification. Using CCIE mobile test labs, Cisco will offer more candidates the ability to take the exam in their local country, increasing convenience and reducing the wait time and expense associated with testing outside their home country. The initiative began with the CCIE Routing and Switching exam and will expand to include other certification exams in the future.
Deciding the location of the CCIE Mobile Lab will need to pass through the Cisco Sales and/or Development Office. The mobile lab will be in a country that has demonstrated a need for CCIE testing and is not on any Cisco Travel Advisory Prohibited or Extreme Risk Destinations List. When a new location has been selected it will be announced on the Cisco Learning Network – Mobile CCIE Lab Overview section.
There is no difference in the registration process. All Cisco policies and procedures used for permanent lab locations will also be in place for mobility labs. To register, please visit the CCIE Lab Scheduling tool.
Mobile labs can be scheduled up to 8 months in advance, which is the same policy for the traditional CCIE global lab locations and the cost for a mobile lab is $1,750 USD for each candidate.
