Hello David, Will the old ccna and Ccnp routing and switching be invalid? I am currently studying for my Ccnp routing and switching. Will that be a waste?

Hi David. Thanks for the information that you share on your channel. I wish I had known about your channel before now. I’m studying for CCCNA exam. I would need your advice on where to buy used affordable network equipment for a home lab. Thanks

[@livia2lima]

Wow! This is huge! Specially for those who are defining their network career paths now, this is more than just the upgrades Cisco usually do on their certs every 2-3 years. This is a change in mindset.

[@adamlicht6614]

Great stuff guys, thank you! Being fresh off my CCNA R&S, I have a lot to think about and I'm really excited for what's ahead!!

[@rovelitroute27]

Please create video explaining how does the new re-certification work..

[@TwstedTV]

(2:50 ) actually, its the same, ( code is code ). nothing changes in the code ecosystem, because you still have the While Loops, For Loops, Boleans, Else, ElseIf etc etc etc. So if a person coded for an app on a phone, they can also code for networking so long as they learn the basic fundamentals of CCNA in its entirety. And know about Ip addressing for IPv4 & v6. they will be all set. and most people who code knows a lot about APIs because its part of the coding ecosystem. just FYI :)

[@patrickallen1183]

Besides adding programming to some certifications, is this really just a new business model for Cisco training. Will certified training partners still exist, or will this be a proprietary training track like EC Council, ISC2, and others - greater expense for the student? When does this become official - new exams required, how much time is left to get a CCNA before those existing exams expire? It was interesting fodder, but not much more. I wonder what route Juniper is considering?

[@patoco817]

I think the real question we want to know the answer to, is will there be training material??? Unlike the Cisco Service provider Cert. Which never really received or release readily available training for the certification.

[@davidbombal]

I have been told training materials will be released in the coming weeks and months. Not sure on dates however.

[@enesfils2941]

[@maxkinney7281]

So.. would it still be worth taking a CCNA Security exam in a few months if I already have a CCNA R&S?

[@wiecaszekpawel]

From what I understand, you are gonna get badges for every specialisation you obtained.

[@symeoncarter8144]

I'm in the same boat, I'm going to continue my ccna security just for knowledge and then research the devnet certification

[@TheDave000]

In the industry, no one cares if you have more than one CCNA. A CCNA just shows you are able to learn enough to be employable at an entry level job. There's no point in getting more than one for employment, you'll learn more on the job than wasting time with more qualifications. CCNP could open the doors to better jobs, but only with a few years experience in the industry as well.

[@symeoncarter8144]

@@TheDave000 true , experience is king , but I love to learn and have a Goal so studying for certifications is the way I do it

[@davidbombal]

Mostly for knowledge I think. You do get some recognition of your cert, but mostly it will help you prepare for CCNP security with prerequisite knowledge.

[@pooter4e552]

Here's the main problem with this scenario. It's good to pursue more knowledge in the APIs, SDKs and Sandbox market. However, you'll need a job in order to access real world equipment if and only if the company is going that route. 85% of IT professionals won't have access to these offerings and/or the company won't hire them based on experience. So my question. How do we study and get access to such equipment, without finding another job? Hmmm! that's the easter egg, because getting the DevNet and badge won't cut it. I've been a Voice/Network Engineer for 10yrs companies like experience.

[@davidbombal]

Lots of options today including free DevNet Sandboxes at developer.cisco.com and labs available at Cisco dcloud. You could also use VIRL, GNS3 and EVE-NG to study.

[@kaizoku47]

thanks for the nice video ,but what i think is that mostly these new certifications are more like commercial ,you have to pay for different and new certifications ... ,what do you think ms david about this point ?

[@toddboucher3302]

I'm thinking good and bad about this. Good-Everyone say follow the trace you love, but this is a great way to find that because will have a little of everything. Bad - I have CCNA R&S, Voice (back then) and security. Working on Cyber now but just to update certs. I feel like these are a waste. I know nothing is wasted, but they are null and void. I should take cyber test 1 next week. Then Might as well jump to AWS till these come out the do NP Security. I been hearing These all downgraded. CCENT is CCNA, CCNA is now NP and IE is IE or am I wrong.

[@kvv8197]

Thanks David! You always bring valuable content and good interviews for us! Cheers!

This means a lot. NE should Learning automation, programming to current networks, cloud , fog . cisco is forwarding to what they are gonna focus on next generation network engineer to be. Keep up cisco. either i was confused what i have to study after ccie r/s Plus to ccie learners Before 2020 feb 24 if you gain ccie r/s The cert after feb 24 automatically recertified in to ccie enterprise This means no ccie r/s anymore new name as ccie enterprise

[@KazSw3]

I've recently have taken an interest to IT and I know I will not pass the CCNA on time so would you still recommend that I still learn routing and switching? Or should I just wait until the new cert comes out?

[@ogbm77]

From the Frecuently Asked Questions on www.cisco.com/c/dam/en_us/training-events/training-certification-faqs.pdf Q: What will happen to my existing certification when the new program goes into effect February 24, 2020? A: • For CCNA, Specialist and CCNP: Your current certification is still valid and will be active until its expiration date. When the new program goes into effect February 24, 2020, your current certification will be transitioned to an equivalent in the new program. • For CCIE: If you are an active CCIE, your suspended year will be converted to an active year. For example, if your active CCIE would have been suspended beginning April 21, 2020, you will sustain active status until April 21, 2021.

I mentioned this before in other posts: How about calling these hybrid certification tracks with devOps as simply CCFSNE-S (Cisco Certified Full Stack Network Engineer/Software)? Then allow the student to mix and match to specialize their career paths within the software end (i.e. CCNA devOps with wireless and security, etc. as mentioned in the video).

Hi David! Could you and Chuck make a video about Cisco Certified Architect?

[@TwstedTV]

I can also see when she says - high corporate people want their CCIE people to learn software development. -- But I can see something a mile away. Now company managers and ceo's are going to due away with actual coders now, or lower their earnings dramatically, because now they can say, We have developers who are also network engineers. (see where this is headed?) this is what bosses, managers and ceo's of companies are going to do. watch... And many actual coders are going to be out on their ass because now companies can just pay for one guy to do two tasks.
