CCNA Voice, Wireless, and Security?

Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 23rd June 2008

Just after posting about the new wireless CCIE, there is an ongoing discussion at techexams.net about an announcement that Cisco will make regarding addition of 3 new CCNA “specialties” certification. These new specialties will add certification for Voice, Security, and Wireless.

Here’s a quote referenced by the original poster regarding the announcement:

127.0.0.1 wrote:

On June 24, 2008, Cisco will introduce the CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, and CCNA Wireless concentrations–the smart way for individuals to establish a deeper level of expertise in these three important areas of Cisco network technology.

Built upon Cisco’s most popular career certification—CCNA—these new new concentrations are relevant, role-based, and designed with the growing knowledge requirements of IT professionals and organizations in mind. These highly specialized associate-level concentrations represent areas of rapid development in technology convergence that makes up today’s sophisticated network environments and also offer a career stepping stone to the professional-level credentials.

I haven’t done much research on it yet but judging on how quickly the thread is growing, it is quite probable. A quick search on google doesn’t pop up anything from the Cisco home page although there seems to be a lot of individual pages alluding to them, including some hints from Chris Bryant’s blog.

Wireless CCIE?

Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 23rd June 2008

CCIE Pursuit’s latest post talks about a new CCIE track that has apparently been confirmed. Check it out, including a link from his page. As usual, because I read it on his blog first, he gets the trackback credit. ;)

Here’s an excerpt from Internetwork Expert:

After speaking with multiple Cisco employees within the wireless group, the Wireless CCIE has been confirmed. Beta candidate registration should begin this fall, along with a blueprint release. Beginning early 2009 the Wireless CCIE beta testing will begin! As of now, topics of the test are expected to cover all aspects of wireless from design through implementation including the implications of security, routing and switching and voice technologies. Check back often for any additional information!
