I don't think Mike said it was a violation of the NDA, he said it was a
violation of Cisco's certification agreement. The CCIE written is not a
valid certification, it is just a written exam that qualifies you as being
competent enough to attempt the CCIE lab. It is more like a filter to save
both candidates and Cisco time and money from attempting an exam they are
clearly not qualified for. It is kind of like getting a driving permit at 15
1/2. You are qualified to begin practicing with a licensed driver for your
own driving exam. Listing the CCIE Written as a qualification is kind of
like listing BSCI certified, BCMSN certified, and BCRAN certified next to
your name. While it may show people you have enough knowledge to pass those
exams, you are not yet a CCNP, nor does Cisco recognize you as a CCNP, or
BSCI certified etc.
I somewhat agree that there is a difference is between a CCNP and a person
that has passed the CCIE written. I don't agree that it is worthwhile to
list next to your name. I think that this is why a lot of the job postings
regarding CCIEs now explicitly state: Looking for CCIE (that has passed lab
exam). These recruiters don't know the difference between someone who was
passed the CCIE written and someone who has passed the CCIE lab exam. A lot
of companies have probably got burned in the past from a recruiter who was
misled by someone that listed CCIE written on their resume and advertised
that person as a "CCIE" to the company. This is just my opinion, you can
list whatever you would like next to your name and there is nothing Cisco or
myself can do about it.
I do however agree that the CCIE written needs to be a requirement for
signing up for this list and that needs to be enforced in some way or
manner.
Just my .02,
Larry - the bestest Cisco engineer in the world. Or at least my mommie
thinks so.
