Retired Specializations

Overview

Note: There are no retired specializations at this time.

Cisco specializations are continually evaluated and updated so they remain relevant to the industry and reflect current market demands. We create new specializations to address networking technology advances, and retire specializations as customer needs evolve and change.

Once a specialization is retired, no new applications for that specialization will be accepted beyond the stated deadline. A specialization remains valid for 12 months from a partner's approval date as long as partner remains compliant with program rules. Specialization applications submitted using the Certification and Specialization Application tool after the deadline will not be processed. Cisco reserves the right to modify deadlines and timeframes.
