It will have just one exam covering networking and security fundamentals, as well as automation and programmability. Previously, CCNA candidates typically had to take multiple exams to earn one of 10 different CCNA certifications. The new CCNA exam (#200-301) is scheduled to go live Feb. 24, 2020. The new CCNA will replace these current certifications:
• CCNA Cloud

You will be required to pass 2 exams: a core exam and one concentration exam. Here’s the complete list of the new CCNPs:
• CCNP Enterprise
• CCNP Collaboration
• CCNP Security
• CCNP Data Center
• CCNP Service Provider
• Cisco Certified DevNet Professional Passing any one of these exams will earn you the Cisco Certified Specialist title in that concentration. Passing the second exam will earn you the CCNP in that focus area.
