CCNP Wireless
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on July 24th, 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.

Hi Aragoen,
I was looking up for some CCNP wireless stuff and got this blog. You were right about the CCNP wireless and now its in the market.
I had cleared my ccna wireless and was preparing for CCNp wireless but I’m not able to find any relevant study material as the course is too lengthy and quite different from the topics covered in CCNA wireless.
Any help would really be appreciated.
