Cisco and Pearson VUE partner to expand access to Cisco certification and
safeguard integrity of global exams

Dear Tripat Pal,We're pleased to announce that Pearson VUE will be the single
vendor of Cisco. certification exams worldwide, effective August 1, 2007.
Were very excited about this change, and were confident that as a valued
Cisco customer, youll benefit from the new level of security, global access,
and innovative technology that will now be available through this
collaboration. Cisco and Pearson VUE are partnering to create a new standard
for individual information technology certifications and specialization exams,
elevating them to the level of prestigious professional certification and
licensure programs. As a result of this change, all individual Cisco technical
certification exams for Cisco customers and partners will need to be scheduled
through Pearson VUE. July 31, 2007, is the last date to take a Cisco exam
through Prometric.As global demand increases for individual Cisco
certifications, it is critical that we improve and make our global
certification systems more agile. Hence, we need to scale and optimize our
test deliverythat is, the administration of Cisco certifications such as
Cisco CCNA. and CCIE.. Traditionally, Cisco has used two core test delivery
partners worldwide to deliver our individual certification exams: Pearson VUE
and Prometric. However, after significant research, Pearson VUE was chosen as
Ciscos single testing partner. Pearson VUE was selected for the following
reasons: Unparalleled global reach  Forward-thinking policies and vision of
technical resource recruitment  Ability to scale to new countries with new
requirements  Ability to meet forecasted demands  Ability to deliver on
additional investments to secure Ciscos test delivery technology Our
expectation is that shifting to a primary vendor strategy worldwide will allow
us to advance test security through the deployment of advanced biometric
technologies. Having a primary vendor will also facilitate the rapid
localization of exams around the world, and allow for increased certification
scalability and coverage. Pearson VUE has more than 4000 test centers in 162
countries worldwide. If you previously utilized a Prometric testing center to
take Cisco certifications, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with your
local Pearson VUE testing center: Test Center Locator. Weve also tried to
anticipate as many of your questions as possible and have included detailed
information on our Certifications Online Support tool. These FAQs will be
updated regularly as new information and developments are announced. If you
have questions that are not addressed, please contact the Cisco Certification
Online Support Team. If you would like additional information about taking a
Cisco test at Pearson VUE, you will find a complete listing of customer
service phone numbers at the Pearson VUE Website. Thank you for your time and
attention. Cisco Career Certifications
