CCIE Wireless Written Exam (400-351)
The CCIE Wireless Version 3.1 exam unifies written and lab exam topics documents into a unique curriculum, while explicitly disclosing which domains pertain to which exam, and the relative weight of each domain.
The CCIE Wireless Written Exam (400-351) is a two-hour test with 90−110 questions that assesses and validates wireless expertise at the highest level. Candidates who pass the CCIE Wireless written exam demonstrate broad theoretical knowledge of wireless networking at enterprise level, including a solid understanding of wireless local area networking (WLAN) technologies, and the ability to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex wireless solutions. The exam is closed book and no outside reference materials are allowed.
An Evolving Technologies section is included in the Written exam only. It will enable candidates to bridge their core technology expertise with knowledge of the evolving technologies that are being adopted at an accelerated pace, such as Cloud, Network Programmability, and Iot.
The CCIE Wireless Lab Exam is an eight-hour, hands-on exam which requires candidates to configure, diagnose, and troubleshoot a series of complex network scenarios. The candidate will need to understand how the network and service components interoperate, and how the functional requirements translate into specific device configurations. Knowledge of troubleshooting is an important skill and candidates are expected to diagnose and solve issues as part of the CCIE lab exam. The candidate will not configure all end-user systems; however, the candidate will be responsible for all devices residing in the network.
The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam. In order to better reflect the contents of the exam and for clarity purposes, the guidelines below may change at any time without notice.

Lots of learning opportunities with CISCO Certification front at CCIE Home, Mumbai. I would like to thanks Prasad Sir, he is a great CCIE Trainer as well as a nice person. Also would like to thanks Arshad Bhai , Dhan Singh for giving me opportunity to participate in CCIE R&S bootcamp.

I still remember the day when I visited CCIE HOME just for an enquiry last year and I was just comparing this with an another institute where I went earlier for enquiry. Next day I took a decision that I'll go with CCIE HOME and yes, that decision literally changed my life and filled me with tons of confidence and gave me a platform from where I can fly high and progress. It always feel special when you're around hepta CCIE's and it feels like as if you're in different world surrounded by professional people. I'll be back for another track

I learned so much from CCIE HOME. Their labs were also brutal. You (Kamlesh) taught me so much. Besides the technologies, I learned from you the value of configuring accurately, verifying everything, reading slowly to catch all of the details. Thank you very much CCIE HOME and team. Wish you all the best and looking forward to be associated with CCIE HOME for the 2nd CCIE. Also please advice which CCIE track will be the best for me.

One of the best training center i have seen India. Many of my team members have been mentored and trained by Hepta CCIE's. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the Hepta CCIE's in my current organisation. I must say they thorough professionals in their work.
