350-801 CLCOR + Concentration
CCNP Collaboration is Cisco's professional-level certification for engineers who design and run unified communications — Cisco Unified Communications Manager, voice and video endpoints, gateways, and cloud collaboration. Earning it means passing the core 350-801 CLCOR exam and one concentration exam — two separate, deeply technical sittings on the Pearson VUE engine, each one a single failed afternoon away from a multi-week retake wait and a stalled promotion or job offer. This page lays out exactly what each exam tests, how it's delivered, and how to clear it without burning months of your timeline.

How the CCNP Collaboration path is built — at a glance
1
Implementing Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies — a 120-minute exam covering infrastructure, protocols, call control, gateways, QoS, and cloud collaboration. This is the required first exam.
+1
Pick one 300-series exam — CLICA, CLACCM, CLCEI, CLCNF, or CLAUTO — to specialize in voice apps, call control, edge, conferencing, or automation. Roughly 90 minutes each.
90–110
Multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and scenario items. No on-screen calculator and no going back once you confirm an answer — pacing and accuracy both matter.
Unlike the associate-level CCNA, CCNP Collaboration is not a single test. You pass the core CLCOR exam and one concentration exam — in either order — and both must be valid at the same time for the certification to be awarded. Passing the CLCOR alone also earns the standalone "Cisco Certified Specialist – Collaboration Core" badge.
Cisco scales every score from 300 to 1000. There is no single published passing mark — the cut score is set per exam form and Cisco does not reveal which items you missed. Performance-area feedback shows your relative strength by domain, but not the exact threshold, so candidates aim comfortably above the line rather than for the minimum.
Core 350-801 CLCOR v2.0 domains — bars show each domain's share of the core exam
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) call routing, dial plans, digit manipulation, device registration, and globalized E.164 numbering — the heart of the exam.
Webex Calling, hybrid deployments, cloud connectivity, and integrating on-prem CUCM with Cisco's cloud collaboration stack — a growing focus in the v2.0 blueprint.
Collaboration architecture, licensing, deployment models, network requirements for voice/video, and the role of each component in a unified communications design.
SIP, H.323, MGCP, RTP/SRTP, audio and video codecs, and endpoint registration and provisioning for Cisco IP phones and video devices.
Cisco IOS XE gateways, SIP trunking, Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), SRST, dial-peers, and media resources such as conferencing and transcoding.
Classification, marking, queuing, and trust boundaries to protect real-time voice and video — the QoS design that keeps calls clear under congestion.
Weights reflect the CLCOR v2.0 blueprint and are approximate — Cisco can adjust them between exam versions. Your chosen concentration exam (CLICA, CLACCM, CLCEI, CLCNF, or CLAUTO) adds its own distinct blueprint on top of these core domains.
Two ways to sit each exam — and what to expect on test day
You sit the exam in a quiet, monitored room at a Pearson VUE center. Staff verify your government-issued ID, store your belongings, and watch the room while you test on a provided workstation. This is the most controlled option and avoids any home-network or webcam issues.
You take the exam from a private room at home or office, monitored by Pearson VUE's OnVUE remote-proctoring platform. You run a system test in advance, complete an ID and room-scan check-in, and stay on-camera throughout. No scratch paper is permitted — an on-screen erasable noteboard is provided.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID whose name matches your Cisco/Pearson VUE profile exactly. The proctor captures your photo and ID before the exam unlocks.
A clear desk, no second monitor, no phone within reach, and a webcam scan of the room. No notes, no headphones, and no one else may enter during the exam.
Stay in frame and on-camera the whole time. There are no scheduled breaks. Leaving the seat, talking aloud, or losing your connection can flag or void the session.
CCNP Collaboration is built for unified-communications engineers
No formal prerequisite — but the technical bar is high
Difficulty: CCNP Collaboration is one of the more niche and demanding professional tracks. The CLCOR blends deep CUCM dial-plan logic, SIP/SBC behavior, QoS, and cloud integration — and you must clear a second concentration exam too. A failed Cisco exam carries a mandatory wait before you can retake it, which is exactly the kind of schedule risk our help is built to remove.
CCNP Collaboration is two high-stakes, time-boxed Cisco exams standing between you and a promotion, raise, or job offer. Exam Assist pairs you with a vetted Cisco collaboration specialist and works on a pay-after-you-pass model — so the risk sits with us, not you. No upfront fee, guaranteed results: Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end, and you settle only after the verified result.
Tell us which exam you need (CLCOR core, a specific concentration, or both), your delivery method, test date, and deadline. Takes a couple of minutes over WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord.
We review your timeline and target and tell you plainly whether it's realistic — before any money is discussed. If it isn't a fit, we say so.
Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end. You're matched with a Cisco specialist who maps the work around the CLCOR domains, your chosen concentration, and the Pearson VUE OnVUE environment — discreetly and confidentially.
You only pay once your passing score is confirmed on your official Cisco score report. No verified result, nothing owed.
