The CCIE SP v3.0 written and lab exams are scheduled for release in all worldwide testing centers on April 18, 2011 and will replace version 2.0 exams at that time.

In February 2011, candidates can choose to take a beta version of the CCIE Service Provider v3.0 written exam at a discounted price of $50 USD.  An announcement will be made several weeks before scheduling opens for candidates interested in taking the beta exam.

Beta exams are scheduled just like other written exams and are available at all worldwide testing centers. A passing grade on the beta exam qualifies a candidate to schedule the lab exam. Results, however, are typically not available until four to six weeks after the close of the beta. CCIEs in suspended status with an expiration date before April 18, 2011, should not recertify using the beta exam. A candidate may attempt the beta exam only once during the beta period.
