7/24/2002 -- Cisco keeps adding to its list of specialty certificates, this month with a Multiservice Switching title.

Launched yesterday, the title is designed to certify the "technical expertise necessary to install, configure, support, troubleshoot, and design complex ATM-based networks in the service provider market segment," Cisco said.

To become a Cisco Certified Multiservice Switching Specialist, candidates must hold Cisco's CCNA title and then pass two exams: ATM Multiservice Switching and PNNI and MPLS Networking Exam. Both exams are available at Prometric and Vue testing centers worldwide.
