The new prerequisite exam for the CCNP Voice is here.

This new exam replaces IIUC and updates the content that was well in need of a refresh. As of 2/28/11 this wiil be the only exam you can take that will fulfill the prerequisite requirement for CCNP Voice. This is a good thing as it means that all Cisco Voice students will now be exposed to IOS based Voice products including CME and the UC500.
