In terms of the CCIE, Cisco's premiere certification, you may now pass any of the currently available CCIE written exams (with one exception) to satisfy the testing requirement for recertification. "For instance, if a CCIE originally received certification by passing the Routing and Switching exam, he or she can receive recertification credit by taking and passing the written CCIE Security exam." The one exception is the Recertification Access Exam (#350-008), which will stay active until the end of July 2003.
