The CCIE Voice Lab Exam is Cisco's highest professional certification level and opens the door to many unique career opportunities. There are three different levels of Cisco Certification, each with their own sub categories, Associate, Professional, and Expert. Expert describes the CCIE certification level. It is estimated that there are only about 17,000 professionals in the entire world that hold this level of certification which is considered to be the highest level of IT certification, and has the highest salary track record in the profession. Different tracks across these levels align with varying career needs.
While there are no formal prerequisites for taking this exam, candidates are required to pass a written exam before moving on to the lab portion, and three to five years of job experience is recommended for all candidates. As with all high level types of examinations, the more experience that you can bring with you as you begin preparation, the better, and the more preparation, the better your chances of passing on the first try will be.
This exam is divided into sections which may include Basic Campus Design, Call Manager and Call Express Configuration, Voice Gateway and Signaling, Call
Routine, Voice CODEC, Call Admission Control, High Availability Features, Media Resource Management, QoS Considerations, Unified Messaging, CRS IPCC Express Application, Call Manager Voice Applications, Supplementary Services, Directory Services and Integration, and Fax. Within these sections, there are also subcategories within these sections that anyone who is getting ready to take the CCIE Voice Lab Exam will want to practice and master.
Hands on training and preparation for the CCIE Voice Lab Exam is recommended, which should include taking several mock lab exams. If after taking one, you find that you didn't score as well as you were expecting, this may be your first clue that you are not as knowledgeable about the techniques and topics covered as you originally thought. Trying to rush through the mock lab isn't advisable, because it might lead to making many small mistakes that can add up and lower your score.
Once you discover which areas you are weak in, you will know what to focus on when you begin to work with your workbooks and learning materials, and you will be better prepared to ask the right questions of your instructors during your bootcamp or training course. With the right amount of preparation and study, you will have a good chance of passing this high level exam on the first try.
