Cisco Service Provider Certification Migration
The Cisco service provider certification path had not been updated for quite some time and was missing coverage on topics such as automation and programmability. The new Cisco Service Provider certification path now incorporates these advancements and enables you to scale your service provider infrastructure.
The exams for the new certification program will not be available until the 24th February 2020 however any exams you complete in the existing program will be rewarded when the new certifications become available on the 24th February 2020.
