Cisco is introducing a new certification path for wireless technologies in March 2026. The path includes professional- and expert-level certifications that teach practical skills for designing, deploying, and managing advanced wireless networks. The new CCNP Wireless exams include the wireless content previously included in CCNP Enterprise, while the CCIE Wireless practical exam now includes Cisco Meraki as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7. Details
Starting in March 2026:
Cisco CCIE Wireless certification is the industry's most demanding confirmation of expert-level expertise in wireless networking. This eight-hour practical exam challenges candidates to plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize complex wireless networks throughout the technology lifecycle. The new CCIE Wireless Practical Exam (v1.1)* includes minor updates and expanded coverage of Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7, and Meraki technologies.
Candidates must take and pass the Implementing and Operating Cisco Wireless Core Technologies (350-101 WLCOR) 1.0 exam (available in March 2026) along with their CCIE Wireless practical exam to earn their CCIE Wireless certification.
Until March 2026:
Confirm your expertise in planning, designing, implementing, operating, and optimizing complex enterprise wireless networks. Make informed decisions about these solutions by earning the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Enterprise Wireless certification.
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE Enterprise Wireless, but you should have a solid understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam. CCIE candidates should have five to seven years of experience in designing, deploying, operating, and optimizing wireless technologies and solutions for enterprises before taking the exam. To earn CCIE Enterprise Wireless, you must pass two exams: a qualifying exam and a hands-on lab exam:
