Common questions

What changed in CCNP Collaboration in 2026?

From 3 February 2026 the exams are CLCOR 350-801 v2.0 plus one concentration: CLACC 300-815 or CLHCT 300-820. CLICA 300-810 and CLAUTO 300-835 were retired. The track now balances on-premises and cloud content roughly 50/50.

Which concentration should I choose?

Choose CLACC if you run large on-premises CUCM estates or are heading for the CCIE. Choose CLHCT if you work with Expressway, Webex Calling and hybrid migrations.

Do I need my own CUCM lab?

No. All Cisco courses include hosted lab pods with CUCM 15, Unity Connection, IM & Presence, Expressway and CUBE, accessed from your browser.
