Steps Required to Achieve CCIE Certification
The CCIE program requires a candidate to perform two qualification steps:
Step 1. |
Pass a two-hour, computer-based qualification examination consisting of 100 questions. The passing mark is approximately 70 percent, but varies according to statistics and may float between 65-75 percent.
|
Step 2. |
Pass an eight-hour lab examination where the passing score is set at 80 percent. Historically, the lab examination was a full two-day lab; that changed in October 2001.
