What is the busi­ness driver that drives Cisco Learning to go down this path ? They have to real­ise that this isn’t going to be pop­u­lar or fair1 and it doesn’t make sense to intro­duce Core Knowledge Questions and then waive them six months later. My view is that Cisco Resellers are com­ing up to part­ner status cer­ti­fic­a­tion and they don’t have enough CCIE’s to make their num­bers. Resellers have a his­tory of not spend­ing enough on cer­ti­fic­a­tion, even with joint mar­ket­ing funds. And they don’t want to pay the money free agent CCIEs in the mar­ket.

Promise made was good appraisal and sponsorship of my exam, which they never fulfilled so far (probably they might NOT do). I came to know that if I quit the company, I can not attach my CCIE number with any other partners for 6 months where no other partners will agree. Should I wait for 12 months or is there any way around ? Hi Greg Ferro ,

If your CCO login is already linked to the company account, then I think they will automatically have your status transferred. Normally, when you join a company they will add you to their account, and Cisco sends you an email for confirmation. I think its possible that wouldn't happen if you Cisco login is already linked to the partner. Cisco will update your login name to show your CCIE status.

I work for a large cisco partner but had to pay for the exam myself. Is there a way to stop my company from associating my ccie status to them? I'm thinking of doing this just in case I need to leave the company soon, that way I can have an "Unattached CCIE Status". Hi,

I’m a new ccie.
I work for a large cisco partner but had to pay for the exam myself.

Is there a way to stop my company from associating my ccie status to them?
I’m thinking of doing this just in case I need to leave the company soon, that way I can have an “Unattached CCIE Status”.
