Guys,

Just throwing this out there.

There is a new Certification coming in 8/1/2007 CCENT



Cisco Introduces New Entry-Level Certification and Updates to CCNA

On June 25, 2007, Cisco announced the addition of a new entry-level certification, Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) to the Career Certifications program. Cisco also introduced significant enhancements to the popular CCNA certification.

CCENT presents a new point of entry for those just beginning to build a career in networking. As an optional stepping stone to CCNA, CCENT validates the skills required to successfully install and verify basic networks—a requirement for most entry-level network support positions. At the same time, Cisco’s foundational CCNA curricula has been revised to include a greater breadth of networking topics and more focus on performance-based skills to differentiate Cisco-certified applicants in the IT job market. The CCNA curricula will be available worldwide on July 26, 2007 and exams will be released on August 1, 2007. Both curricula and exams will be initially released in English . Versions in simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish will also be made available in December 2007. Additional languages will be announced as translation plans are finalized.

The CCENT learning path includes:
A required exam: ICND1 640-822
A recommended course: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1

The CCNA learning path includes:
Required exams: ICND1 640-822 and ICND2 640-816, or CCNA 640-802 composite exam
Recommended courses: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1 and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 2

For more information on the CCENT and CCNA certifications, watch the “CCNA and CCENT Certification Overview” video posted on the CCNA Prep Center. The CCNA Prep Center which is available to anyone with a Cisco.com login helps candidates prepare for the CCENT and CCNA exams.

Just sharing, this is a good start for those that are having trouble with CCNA. Learn to walk before you run is a good metaphor into learning Cisco.

Oh oh. I've passed the INTRO exam, but haven't taken the ICND exam yet. Does this mean I won't be able to earn a CCNA that way anymore?

I'm pretty sure you can still continue on your path toward CCNA. The Cisco Cert was just annoucing new Entry Level Networking those that want to build their skills in Cisco. It's always good to get a grasp of CCENT, then walk your path to CCNA, NP, DA, etc..so on......

No worries Burt, CiscoGuy33 did the same thing. I was actually talking to my boss about that, he was stumped as well. Besides, one of our guys in the Cisco Department passed the CCNA, 4th time was the charm.

Peace

It looks like I've got until November to finish up under the "old" rules. Thanks.
