Yes, the CCNP TSHOOT exam was officially retired on February 23, 2020, meaning it's no longer available for certifying or recertifying.

TSHOOT certification is a hands-on, practical exam. So, expect in-depth lab work and real-world scenarios rather than theoretical rote learning.

While there’s no set order, most recommend completing ROUTE (300‑101) and SWITCH (300‑115) first. This keeps your knowledge fresh and gives context for advanced troubleshooting.
