just wandered over to msceworld.com and stumbled across a thread saying that the CCNA is changing, new exams from 1st August.

Here is a link to the cisco article:

I have just started CCNA and the exams will be in late December early Jan08.
How will this effect what i'm being taught now???

 

yeah cisco always updates their exams ever few years.

 

The last day to take the current version of the exam is November 6, 2007.

 

MrNerdy,

Unless you're taking courses that are part of the authorized Cisco Networking Academy Program, you have the same deadline as everyone else.

 

Theprof,

From my experience, it seems to coincide with their 3 year certification valid time frame.

 

Looks like they threw out ISDN. VPN is more prominent now. Also, there's more emphasis on security and VoIP this time around. Other than that, I don't see any radical changes as such. A lot of the old stuff is still in there.

 

WLAN has been added.

There is more emphisis on configuration it seems.

A new cert has been added. CCENT.

So the path probably should go CCENT-->CCNA-->CCNP-->CCIE

I am going to take the CCENT test when it comes out. Can't hurt.

 

It's going to be a couple of years before I attempt the cisco route again

 

Certainly can't hurt. In fact, I'd recommend it (unlike the previous two-exam option).
