CCDP

Cisco’s CCDP (Cisco Certified Design Professional) is a mid to advanced-level certification for IT professionals who can “design routed and switched networks involving LAN, WAN, and dial access services, applying modular design practices and making sure the whole solution responds optimally to the business and technical needs and is designed to be highly available.â€‌ The CCDP has as its prerequisites: CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and CCDA (Cisco Certified Network Associate).

The CCDP got its start several years ago and has been most recently changed in the summer of 2003, with the introduction of the Composite exam. There is a three and a two exam path to the CCDP. The CCDP is valid for three years. To recertify, the candidate must pass the Composite exam. “Recertifying at the Professional level automatically renews the related CCNA certification.â€‌

Job roles of those pursuing this certification generally include: network infrastructure administrator, infrastructure engineer, network architect, network engineer and network designer.
