Subject: Real World Simulations Added to Cisco Certification Exams
> Dear Ahmed Mamoor Amimi,

> Cisco certified professionals are considered the "best of the best"
> in the networking industry. Today, March 12, 2002, beginning with the
> CCNA exam, Cisco will include simulation questions in Cisco exams and
> courses. The enhancements to the Cisco Career Certifications program
> will ensure certified professionals continue to provide our customers
> and partners with the highest level of support and expertise needed
> for managing and deploying Cisco end-to-end network solutions.
>
> The CCNA #640-607 exam will focus on testing a candidate's knowledge
> and skills, The CCNA exam #640-607 replaces exam #640-507 in all
> countries except Japan. All translated version of exam #640-507 will
> be retired on March 12, except for Networking Academy students. The
> CCNA #640-607 exam will utilize Flash simulations along with "drag
> and drops" to validate an individual's understanding and application
> of the CCNA networking support objectives.
>
> With the adoption of simulations in certification courses and exams,
> Cisco complements a growing trend among information technology (IT)
> companies to increasingly focus on knowledge and skills in
> certifications. Real-world, scenario-based simulation courses and
> exams place an emphasis on hands-on learning, and therefore, the
> recognition and value of simulation-based exams are increasingly
> apparent in the IT industry. Simulation questions require candidates
> to apply troubleshooting and problem-solving skills to resolve
> networking problems on their written exams just as they would need to
> do while on the job.

> #640-607 exam is supported by the current recommended courses, ICND
> v1.1 and CCNA Basics v1.0. These courses are available through Cisco
> Learning Partners and the Networking Academy, and include integrated
> course simulations to assist in preparation for the new simulation

> Although the CCNA exam has been redesigned, the learning objectives
> have not changed. As a result, the existing CCNA exam outline and
> course outline cover all the topics on the new exam with the
> inclusion of simulations to further validate a candidate's network
> skills. Simulations will be added to other Cisco certifications exams
> and recommended courses over time.
