CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Exam Cost

Qualifying written exam 350-401 ENCOR: "Cost: $US400, or use Cisco Learning Credits". Lab exam: "CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab exam v1.1 ... Cost: $US1,600, or use Cisco Learning Credits" (both figures as published on the official CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification page).

The exam fee is the published figure above. Budget 480 minutes of exam time, plus the revision time you need for 6 domains. The vendor retake terms vary, so confirm whether a second attempt is charged separately before you budget.

Retake terms for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure are set by Cisco and are not included in the figure above. Check the official exam page before scheduling, because the waiting period is what usually costs you time, not the fee.

The published price for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure does not list a voucher. Discounts usually arrive through employer sponsorship or training budgets rather than from the vendor directly, so check with your employer before paying full price.

No. The exam fee is paid to Cisco and covers the exam itself. Certilum is a separate product: 100 practice questions for this certification, tagged to the official domains, with a difficulty score of 2/10.

A systematic, multi-phase approach is essential. Start by thoroughly mastering the ENCOR written exam blueprint using official Cisco Press guides and white papers. Then, allocate 6-12 months exclusively for lab preparation using CML (Cisco Modeling Labs), physical equipment, or rack rentals. Build a structured lab schedule repeating key topologies daily. Focus on troubleshooting practice - break your own configurations and fix them blind. Use the official Cisco CCIE lab workbook and video courses from trusted instructors (INE, Kevin Wallace, Orhan Ergun). Join study groups, forums (Cisco Learning Network), and practice with time-bound mock labs. Prioritize automation and Python scripting as it is heavily tested. Keep detailed notes and use Anki cards for discrete facts. The last month should be dedicated exclusively to full-length 8-hour mock exams under real conditions.
