There are no formal prerequisites for the CCIE exam, but CCIE Exams recommends one has at least 3-5 years experience in networking before attempting to become a CCIE. CCIE was the first Cisco Certified qualification, and as such there were no other certifications that could be taken prior. The development of the associate and professional certifications was due to recognition of the fact that a CCIE is overkill for many networking personnel, and also for the vast majority of businesses who employ such people, and that certifications needed to be offered at lower levels.
Despite the development of the lower certifications, Cisco has chosen not to make them formal requirements for the CCIE certification. It is possible to hold multiple CCIE certification. This is done by passing both the written and the lab exam in a particular track. As of September 9, 2008, there are 1,729 individuals who hold multiple CCIE certifications. Of those, 274 hold three or more CCIE certifications.
