They are just retiring, not actually *invalidating* CCNP Voice, right? I mean all of our CCNP Voice certificates won't go up in a puff of smoke once CCNP Collab comes out. Only that no new CCNP Voice certs would be awarded after a yet to be announced date (or has it been announced already? Anyway)
Since I've just got mine, I don't think I'll be in any rush to update to Collaboration, especially not until at least some valuable training materials are out . From my experience, I wouldn't rely on classroom training alone. So far none of the "official cisco training classes" I've attended covered *all* of the exam material. And there's barely a synopsis for CIPTV2 out so far.

Really? Only one test's worth of info is what changes between Voice and Collaboration? If you are going to retire and invalidate a credential and move to another tract altogether, then it should be a top-down revamp, not just one test of a few new questions about video. This feels like it is nothing more than re branding/marketing; and I shouldn't have to pay for that. My grumpy two cents, Ryan ________________________________ Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:10:24 -0600 From: ben.st...@gmail.com<mailto:ben.st...@gmail.com> To: wo...@justfamily.org<mailto:wo...@justfamily.org> CC: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] CCNA/CCNP Collaboration certs Is it just me or does it seem weird for a CCNA level to now require two tests.
