Cisco Wireless Certification Changes: WLCOR Replaces ENCOR

Cisco will use a different core exam for the updated CCIE Wireless certification path. If this is a learning path you’ve been eyeing, you will now need to prepare for the Implementing and Operating Cisco Wireless Core Technologies v1.0 (WLCOR 350-101) exam, instead of the ENCOR exam. The change will take effect beginning March 19, 2026.

Changes for Cisco this March 2026

Before the update, the Enterprise Network Core Technologies exam (ENCOR 350-401) was the core exam for wireless certification. Cisco ENCOR had a wide scope, with wireless topics only part of the exam. With the March update, Cisco is separating the wireless route from the Enterprise certification track.
