Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) - Wireless
The Cisco CCIE Wireless certification
assesses and validates wireless expertise. Candidates who pass the
CCIE Wireless certification exams demonstrate broad theoretical
knowledge of wireless networking and a solid understanding of
wireless local area networking (WLAN) technologies from Cisco, the
market leader in WLAN technology.
Pre-requisites:
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE
certification. Other professional certifications or training
courses are not required. Instead, candidates must first pass a
written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab
exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the
topics in the exam blueprints and strongly encouraged to have three
to five years of job experience before attempting certification.
You can review the exam preparation materials included on this page

The exam is in 2 stages:
Step One: CCIE Wireless Written Exam
You must pass the two-hour, written qualification exam covering
concepts and equipment commands before you are eligible to schedule
the lab exam.
Step Two: CCIE Wireless Lab Exam
The eight-hour lab exam confirms that you have the job skills
and technical knowledge required of a wireless expert-level network
professional. You must pass the lab within three years of passing
the written to achieve certification. Your first lab attempt must
be made within 18 months.
