hi guys welcome back for a very very quick update regarding the new Cisco
certification updates Cisco announced that it will be updating its
certification program from 24 to February 2020 that's eight months from
now so all certifications including the CCNA
has undergone major changes if your question is whether you should continue
doing your current CCNA or you should wait for the new CCNA or you think this
change is good or bad for you or you want to know what else has changed then
stay tuned but we will be demystifying all about the updates from Cisco in the
lasts Cisco lives Cisco announced that CCNA is going to be just one there will
be only one sis year in a they won't be c sienna weiler CCNA security season a
datacenter CCNA industrials is he an earnest CSUN a service providers is in a
collaboration or for that matter they won't even be a CCDF this will be only
one sec and a this also means there won't be icnd1 icnd2 which means there
is only one way to achieve your CCNA that is to write the new CCNA exam and
pass it Cisco also introduced a new associate
level program all the cisco certified deaf netters who see it now definite
associate is a place where they're going to concentrate more on the software and
programming side of cisco more to do with the software-defined ancestry
wit CCNA CCNP and CCIE has only changed currently if you want to you see C n R
Delta R for example you had like three exams
you had to write route switch and t-shirt with the new CCNP you only have
tried to test of two exams that will be CCNP will be a core and then there will
be a specialist example they've also gone ahead and reconfigured the number
of domains that is there which is same so the five domains that's going to be
part of CC NPS will be enterprise data center security service provider and the
collaboration just like a associate certification there is a new
professional certification all the cisco certified definite professional but the
most important change is now unlike before Cisco said that every exam you
write you will get a certificate so earlier if you did your icnd1 or CCENT
as we call it you did not get any certificate of course because you do
your CC nti I say anyone you do you ICD - and both together will give you the
CCNA similarly if you were doing your CC MP
if you passed any of the three papers you know if you pass route switch
audition you don't get a certificate for individual three papers if you did all
three you get a CMP now Cisco wanted to change that Cisco said every exam you
pass with Cisco you get a certificate so if you're let's say for instance you're
pursuing your ccnp in enterprise you would first write the enterprise core
exam so as soon as you write your CCNP Enterprise for example you become a
cisco certified specialist in enterprise code then you can choose any one of
these papers in enterprise and you write that exam cisco gives you a cisco
certified specialist in this chosen domain
now you get to self Achatz for these two so when you get cisco certified
specialist for enterprise core and then you get cisco certified specialist for
this chosen specialist example but because you pass two exams in enterprise
you become a CC and be a Lean Enterprise so that's so cool
you get three certificates for two exams that's what all before
or rather now in what's happening right now
see if you want to do your CC MP CCNA was a prerequisite that means if your
end of duty was to get your CC MP you had to get a CC n able to CCNA is
prerequisite not anymore that wouldn't be the case from next year
so once a new exams kick in you can directly get in
write your enterprise code which is simply or whatever and I mean let me
choose and then write a specialist exactly you just have right to example
you don't have a prereq facility of the CCM that's cool I believe CCI on the
other hand never had an abuse so you didn't have to become a CCNP or a CCNA
to do CCI you get a you could become a CCI direct but only prerequisite so to
say for you to get your CC yeah ie lab got to be squall fide to schedule ie lab
you had write something called the CCI has written exam so you write a CCI
written exam again this is one more exam where like icnd1 how do you get nothing
for it you pass the CCI return you don't even get a certificate saying that you
have passed if she written so it's just a qualifying exam you just like you're
another online exam like to see any and all the papers but still you write that
exam you don't get a certificate you're just eligible you schedule a CCI
a lab and then you pass you CCI lab you get one certificate sis of for CCIE so
you're a CCI and that's it from next year with the new ones a new exam so new
versions kicking there is no more CCI return you will not
have a paper called CCI return so what would happen is the core exam for CCNA
right so if let's if you're doing CCIE enterprise the CCNP enterprise core exam
that becomes your qualifying exams reverse that exams you see a sec NP
Enterprise cool you are eligible now which gave you your heart at CCI lab so
once you pass your enterprise code like you know cisco certified specialist in
enterprise it wants everything you schedule your lab and you pass your lab
because you pass your lab you have a CCI self Academy you are a CCA but now just
add one more specialist example from CCNP enterprise you get a nada cisco
certified enterprise or cisco certified specialist in the trojan
Stream Plus because you have passed to enterprise CCNP level exams one core and
another specialist exam you are all to a CCNP so you get four qualifications for
three exams right if you any of you doing your CCIE you just have to add one
more paper and you have CC MP I'm CCI and for certificates that's awesome I
think cisco has do this is Cruz doing all of us new people who are chasing
certifications of the certifications this is brilliant I'm fizz you kidding a
lot of circuits so I think on that on that note I think you should go and hit
that like button tell Cisco how much you love them now
why is this change now Cisco spoke to a lot of industry experts and hiring
managers and realize that the certification should reflect today's
requirements so when folks for CCNA level when
hiring managers higher up CCAC Sienna candidates they expect them to have very
basic knowledge and they need them to a know few foundations right so CCNA
thought they were teaching a lot more that is not why are not no more relevant
enough things that are old right then things that they don't really need so
they have revamped CCNA and the the current CCNA or rather the new CCNA will
cover routing and switching basic routing and switching how to configure
IP addresses and all that you'll have basic wireless security and then it will
12 into automation and programming so altercation programmable T is going to
be really important aspect in the CC Cisco and in Cisco's future so they
wanted to introduce that access inaudible if you want to compare that
the current CCNA and the new CCNA I think Cisco's retain about 60% of
current the CNAs topics and they have added 20% more so on the whole if you
compare the topic wise topic breath do with the new CCN atomic breath it's
about 80% of the parent CCNA but again more relevant
the new CCN exam code will be 205 5301 which will start off 24th of february
2020 that means on that day I send e1 I send it to 200 120 100 120 ICC makes the
current CCNA all these three papers will stop right you will know we did not have
an opportunity to write those exams than this one like before when Cisco
announced a new version Cisco gives an overlapping period where you write
between the between the two papers so you had a choice between the papers but
this time Cisco's announced it now and Cisco's given it is 8 months period when
Cisco will stop this paper and they've introducing a pride so the old papers
made before our solution you cannot schedule those exams so now for the
critical question should you continue preparing for your current CCNA or wait
for the new CCM name to answer that question depends on a lot of lore factor
if you are doing your CCNA because it was a pleated Pacific for CCNP then you
don't really need CCNA now you can directly at them to your ccnp so you
don't have to worry about this MA go ahead and prepare for ccnp queue or
rather your whatever stream that you wanna choose and the price or in that if
you were doing CCNA because you want to get your CCNA certificate and you're
like two three years four years into industry and you just want that level is
your aim is to get your CCNA then please go ahead and continue studying for a
currency see and if those who have eight months until February 2020 and passing
CCNA I think it's unwise about two months two months the pressure is more
than enough to pass physics and so you have a lot of time and you can pass your
parent caesium the third type of people are people who
chose to go to the I see any road so if you have done us in d1 then you have to
have to have to finish UIC in 2020 because on that date your icnd1 becomes
void and knowledge so this there's no meaning that you you cannot write I said
you do so you have any way any said money and I say they want you might have
just try to I say that you and get OCC right no matter what if you choose to do
your CCNA now before 24th of February 2020
you would be a water the new CCNA and the new training patch so there's
nothing that you're gonna lose by getting your CCNA now so there's no
point saying oh the old CCNA new sinner there's nothing called CCNA new CCNA you
become a CCNA now you are a CCNA and cisco is gonna give you the new patch on
24th of February right so that is brilliant and I think everybody should
attempt the currency's here as for us we will be updating the series or rather
we've be continuing with the currency series will complete it we hopefully in
the next one or two months ago we we will finish the entire series so you
will have enough time to use our material to complete your CCNA before
the
once the new CCNA kicks in we will also announce this series will be valid and
this series is going to be online we are not going to stop this so it is always
will be value so the question of whether it's valid or not is not gonna change
because whatever we taught you here the new CCM like I said will have 60% of
this content so I see your OSPF it will remain the same IP and the schemes will
remain the same your OSI stacks will remain the same
everything is going to be the same there's nothing that really changes
right like EHR piece no more in the new I seen
new CCM right so yeah okay doesn't mean if you have to use yo jamp
in your work environment today the EHR piece will be not going to be any
different it's going to be the same energetic right so you study now
whatever you studying in our on our series and what are you studying with
the currencies in there is going to be found
once a new CCNA kicks in we might have a new series right with the 203 0 1 series
which will be tailor-made to the topics that's there in that series but that
doesn't mean this is going to go away this videos all these videos will stay
online for free the new series the 203 0 1 I don't know if you if I'm going to
leave it free would be a paid series
that's something that you have to pair I don't know how I'm going to do that's a
strategy that I'm gonna discuss and decide when that happens right
this series is gonna be free the series is free and this will always remain free
you can watch this anytime every time so I hope I have
demystified some of the updates from Cisco and some of your questions aren't
answered at this so thank you for joining me today we'll be continuing our
series join us there and arm till I see you all guys back at that series have a
good day
