The widely respected IT certification programs available through Cisco Career Certifications bring valuable, measurable rewards to networking professionals, their managers, and the organizations that employ them.

Passing one or more exams is the requirement for achieving certification and, in most cases, for recertification. The following list identifies all currently available exams by certification and track. In some cases, different tracks may require the same exam. Exams required for more than one track are listed within each track.

Cisco Career Certification exams include the following test formats:

• Multiple-choice single answer
• Multiple-choice multiple answer
• Drag-and-drop
• Fill-in-the-blank
• Testlet
• Simlet
• Simulations

Before taking the exam, candidates should become familiar with how all exam types function-especially the testlet, simlet, and the simulation tool. Such practice will allow candidates to focus their exam-taking efforts on the exam questions rather than on how to correctly use the tools.
