I’m not completely sure what would happen in this case. A CCIE-certified employee still counts towards their accreditation, and I think you would be ‘attached’ for purposes of moving to another reseller.

Then no one objected. Or the partner had enough CCIE’s (or too many). Or the partner was happy to see you go. It’s all part of the business arrangement and there are no rules.

[...] So the real ques≠tion is why are the waivers being issued ? What is the busi≠ness driver that drives Cisco Learning to go down this path ? They have to real≠ise that this isnít going to be pop≠u≠lar or fair1 and it doesnít make sense to intro≠duce Core Knowledge Questions and then waive them six months later. My view is that Cisco Resellers are com≠ing up to part≠ner status cer≠ti≠fic≠a≠tion and they donít have enough CCIEís to make their num≠bers. Resellers have a†his≠tory of not spend≠ing enough on cer≠ti≠fic≠a≠tion, even with joint mar≠ket≠ing funds. And they donít want to pay the money free agent CCIEs in the mar≠ket. [...]

Hi Greg Ferro ,

I am working with Cisco partner; My Company has attached my CCIE number.
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 ?

Cisco will update your login name to show your CCIE status. 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.

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”.
