ECMS Exam - Experiences, Tips, Study

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to learn of some experiences from those of you who have taken the ECMS Exam, Engineering Cisco Meraki Solutions. 

 

How did you study? How was the exam in terms of difficulty? I've utilized the Meraki Dashboard for around 5-6 years now, mainly on the troubleshooting side of things. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @RWelch 
This is abit off topic but would you know when passing the Cisco Meraki 500-220 exam , does the vendor issue a credential badge like normal Cisco exam badges ?
I have raised a ticket with Cisco directly and they cant help much and informed me to reach out to community-help@meraki.com , haven't received any feedback since I logged the ticket.

Any advice on this? I have taken the exam on the 25/05/25

I believe so, yes.  To receive the badge, you'll need to submit proof of your certificate and your Meraki Community display name to 

community-help@meraki.com

Along these lines..
I am looking for ECMS practice questions or anything that could test my knowledge before I sign up for the exam. I have had Meraki experience, took all of the Learning Hub classes, and read the ECMS Exam Self-study Guide.

Without breaking the NDA, here's what I can tell you from my experience in taking and passing the ECMS exam late last year.  

The self study guide is good, but the Learning Hub classes were definitely a better resource.  Also, the book "Cisco Meraki Fundamentals: Cloud-managed operations" from Cisco Press was like a bible for my studying.  

 

They can only ask you a limited number of questions over a limited amount of time, so they'll have to focus less on specific models and more on the product lines as a whole (focus your study time on big picture concepts rather than the little details).  

 

All Meraki products/product lines are fair game, so I would balance my studying equally between the different product lines.  Look at the exam topics - notice what is there, and what isn't there https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/ecms-exam-topics

 

You will have topics that you know better than others.  That's OK; I personally had very limited experience with Meraki's MDM, but my experience with JAMF as an MDM was able to help me understand the overall concepts and then it was just learning the Meraki specific differences.

 

You need to know Dashboard cold for all of the listed products - Practice on dcloud.  

 

It's definitely a passable (although not easy) certification, and with some good studying, you'll do great!
