Well, are you trying to get certified in CCIP or Content Networking?
Or both?

If you want to be Cisco Certified in Content Networking without
retaking BSCI (you took it as BSCN), then you can take the Cisco
Content Networking Specialist track:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/cqs/cn/
which includes the 640-925-CN and 9E0-600 exams (requires
valid CCNP or CCIP certification).

Is someone requiring this certification?  Why are you interested in it?
Are you currently working with Cisco CDN products, or do you plan
to?  Is the interest in CSS products only, or also ECDN/ICDN and/or
Content Engines?

If you are only interested in CSS 11000, CE 500, and CR 4430B
configuration, then maybe you should instead go the CCIP route and
only take BSCI, MCAST+QOS, and CN exams.  If you are interested
in being "Cisco Content Networking Certified", meaning all products,
including ECDN/ICDN, all CE's, all CR's, *and* all CSS functionality,
then that's the CQS program above.

CN is CSS 11000, CE 500, and CR 4430B only.
CECOC is Router IOS WCCP, CSS 11000, CE 500 and CE 7320
CSSOC is CSS 11000 only
ECDN is the CDM 46x0 and CR 4430 (sans Boomerang) and CE-x-CDN models

So, basically, if you just want a simple (IMO, a joke and a waste of time)
overview,
take the CN class/exam.
If you want to learn do-it-yourself caching (WCCP, ICP, etc), take CECOC.
If you want to learn web-server load-balancing only, take CSSOC.
If you want to learn Cisco's CDN solutions (CDM, SODA, etc), take ECDN.

For individuals, the Cisco wants individuals to be certfied with the CQS
Cisco
Content Networking Specialization, which includes all of the above.  The
CCIP
specific Content Networking exam/course (i.e. CN) is just an elective, and
it's
just basic understand and overview.  The one nice thing about CN is that it
covers
Boomerang.  If you plan on doing ICDN stuff, CN is better to learn than
ECDN.

Cisco also has a partner certification for organizations in Content
Networking here:

networking/

Have fun.
