CCNP Wireless
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 24th July 2009
I was doing some reading on wireless last night as part of my preparation for the BCMSN exam. I wanted to find some online resources to supplement my studies when I noticed in the Cisco Learning Network home page that there is a new CCNP track that I haven’t seen there before. Granted it’s been a while since I’ve been to their site.
Apparently the new CCNP Wireless certification track was announced at the Cisco Live 2009 that was held recently in San Francisco. Now I remember back in the early part of this year that there were some talks about Cisco talking about launching a new professional level wireless cert but never heard about it since. I did a quick search on all my blog feeds and not one has talked about it (Come on bloggers! I rely on you for the latest and most current news. What’s up, man?) 
Here’s more info for the curious minds (who, like me, still didn’t know):
Cisco Wireless Professional Certification
One of the pre-requisites is that you must have a CCNA wireless cert and/or any CCIE ceritfification. I’m not 100% on the latter pre-req.
Formal prerequisites for the CCNP Wireless certification are CCNA (Routing & Switching) and CCNA Wireless. In order to pass the CCNP Wireless exams an individual should have:
- At least three to five years of job experience in network engineering
- A thorough understanding of wireless networking principles
- An in-depth understanding of the four courses
You must pass the required CUWSS (642-731), IUWVN (642-741), IUWMS (642-746), IAUWS (642-736) exams to achieve CCNP Wireless certification.
CCNP Wireless courses and exams are available starting today July 24th, 2009.
