The CCIE Collaboration practical exam tests your ability to design, deploy, operate and optimise complex collaboration solutions in 8 hours, across on-premises, hybrid and cloud technologies including Webex Calling.
Our programme combines blueprint-aligned deep dives with progressively harder workbooks, timed full-scale mock labs graded against the exam's scoring style, and personal coaching on strategy and speed.
80 h video + 160 h labs, about 26 weeks at 6–8 hours per week.
