CCDP ® Certification Training Cisco ® Certified Design Professional
The CCDP certification (Cisco Certified Design Professional) indicates advanced or journeyman knowledge of network design. With a CCDP, a network professional can design routed and switched networks involving LAN,
WAN, and dial access services for businesses and organizations with 100 to more than 500 nodes.
CCDP Prerequisites
Valid CCNA (exam 640-507) and CCDA (exam 640-441) certification are prerequisites for CCDP Certification.

Benfits of CCDP Certification
Overall, Cisco certification validates an individual’s achievement, so it increases the holder’s professional credibility by ensuring high standards of technical expertise. In particular, CCDP
certification indicatesknowledge of network design for organizations whose complex, multiprotocol networks have from 100 to more than 500 nodes.
A CCDP certified individual can perform the following tasks:
• Determine customer requirements for network performance, security, capacity, and scalability
• Design an internetwork architecture that meets customer requirements and may include
campus LANs, routed and switched WANs, and remote access net-works
• Articulate the benefits of the design to a customer’s satisfaction
• Develop and test a prototype network that validates the design–and demonstrate that proof to a customer’s satisfaction
