CCNP Mix & Match

Cisco introducing the new CCNP certification

In January 2010 Cisco introduced the revised CCNP certification. There are now three courses available. The !ROUTE, !SWITCH and !TSHOOT courses have replaced the BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW and ONT courses.

You will be able to take the BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW and ONT exams until 31st July, 2010. The new CCNP exams will become available March, 2010.

To ease the transition to the new CCNP curriculum, Cisco offers multiple possibilities to combine old and new exams. Find your options below or contact Fast Lane for personal advice on +41 (0)44 832 50 80 or info@flane.ch.
