Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP)

CCDA certified professionals can discuss, design, and create advanced addressing and routing, security, network management, data centre, and IP multicast complex multi-layered enterprise architectures that include virtual private networking and wireless domains. There are two exams in common between the CCNP and CCDP, out of the three required exams. If you have a CCNP certification, you can therefore attain your CCDP certification by passing a single test (642-873 ARCH).

To help prepare for the exams, we provide you with all the required resources including the online self-paced courses and an online reference library of eBooks (includes Cisco Press Books) and how-to articles.
