CCIE Voice Written Exam 350-030 Expanded Blueprint


I am getting ready to start my CCIE Voice Written (Exam 350-030) preparation and hoping to gain a ton of knowledge throughout this journey. I was hoping to purchase the CCBootcamp Voice Written guide but they displayed the WORST POSSIBLE customer service so I have decided to only rely on Cisco Documentation for my CCIE Voice Written prep.

To start off, here is the expanded blueprint for CCIE Voice Written customized to my needs. I will be following this blueprint while updating my notes throughout the journey.  My goal is to attempt the CCIE Voice Written exam by August 2009. I know that is an aggressive timeline but I have no other choice due to the load at work.

    Welcome to the blog! Are you aiming for the written or have you already passed it? I would like to know about your plans.

      Aiming for written. I’d like to pass the current written blueprint so I can focus on new lab blueprint. I have the ccbootcamp written guide, and my Cisco Press collection.
