Funny you mention the rules, as I went back over Cisco's website looking
for the rules. Actually, until you finish the CCIE lab and get your
number, you're not bound by the rules set forth on the CCIE Logo usage
webpage which says (pertaining to text usage):
-----------------------------------------------------
Text References to the CCIE Program
The name CCIE may be used in textual descriptions that make fair and
accurate references to the program and to your certification status.
Since it is a trademark, it should be used as an adjective and never as
a noun. Examples of proper use include:
Do say: "John Smith is certified under the CCIET program; CCIE No. 1234"
or "John Smith, CCIET No. 1234"
Do not say: "John Smith is a CCIE" or "XYZ company is CCIE certified"
-----------------------------------------------------
Since there is nothing specifically saying you *can't* use it, and you
*can't* be bound by the CCIE Logo usage rules until you are a CCIE
(technically speaking), does it break the rules to use it this way?
I don't know.......... But to make sure I don't jeopardize my certs,
I've e-mailed ccie@cisco.com and asked for an official clarification. I
will post as soon as I receive an answer.

It's good to be proud of your accomplishments. It's also good to honor
the rules as set forth by the company whos certification your pursuing
and you take said pride in. There is a standard for using the letters as
you choose to use them. And that standard is there is no such thing as a
"CCIE Written" designation to be used in any correspondence, stationary,
business card, email, etc. We don't make the rules... we just live by
them.

Those of you disgruntled by my placing "CCIE Written" after my name have
way too much time on your hands. I am not using the CCIE Written to get
a job, nor to trick people into thinking I've passed the lab exam. I
already have a job and am only focused on the certifications I'm
pursuing. I put it on there because I'm proud of it. Passing the
written was a great accomplishment and it constantly motivates me to
succeed. If someone were to cheat on a test or share answers and
questions from the actual exam, they would be violating the Cisco
agreements. If I share with others that I've passed the written exam,
I'm just telling people I've passed the CCIE written exam. Find a
better way to use your time.
