1) Vă aduceţi aminte ce vă spuneam despre iminenta apariţie a CCIE-ului Wireless? Ei bine, it’s official: pe 7 octombrie va începe beta-ul pentru examenul written!
2) O “bârfă” interesantă, care circulă pe listele de discuţii de profil:
“On August 27, Cisco will introduce a pilot for the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam in Beijing, China. The pilot will add a 10-minute interview that will assess the candidate’s ability to apply expert-level networking skills and knowledge to networking problems that are encountered on the job. After the lab orientation, a panel of three experts will conduct a verbal interview with each candidate, asking a series of expert-level networking questions (questions and answers will be in English). The ability to correctly answer these questions will affect the exam score. After completing the interview, the candidate will have the entire 8 hours to complete the lab portion of the exam. These scores will then be calculated and then combined for a total score which will decide a pass or a fail.
Our goal with this email is to let you know that your day will extend beyond the normal testing day by approximately one hour. The additional hour will be at the end of the day. We hope you find this interview process enlightening and helpful as we continue to strive for the standard the world has come to expect from CCIE.”
Nu există nici un anunţ oficial din partea Cisco, şi ca urmare nu pot să vă spun dacă este sau nu adevărată informaţia. Totuşi, informaţia a apărut din mai multe surse (oameni care au primit e-mail-ul respectiv), şi ca urmare chiar am tendinţa să cred că este adevărat.
Înţeleg oarecum motivul pentru care Cisco face asta. Dar după cum comenta cineva (uşor cinic) – “I guess this means there will be another section on P4S for pre-exam questions”…
