    Same here - even worse I spent several months studying for Route but had to postpone it as I started a new job. Really need to get on it again, I'm hoping some of it's still retained...

    Cisco is now not even vaguely on the horizon. Potentially gobbling up server certs by the bundle next year. Of course, in and around the degree, which appears to be never-ending!

    Think it has to be Juniper for me, JNCIA FWV, maybe CCSE or CCNP depending on how I feel.

    My main goal is to get as much of / if not all my JAR PPL done :)

    Got up the motivation to start studying for my VCP 5 now instead of next year. Really enjoying reading the official cert guide book from VMware and naturally Scott Lowes Mastering vsphere 5 book has got to be on the list.

    Okay, so my work has played their hand. This is a cert plans thread, but we usually do blended targets as it were, so here are mine:

    CERTS

    MCSE 2012 (Network Infrastructure)
    Something Exchange-y

    PERSONAL

    Get the book up on Amazon (the big one - finally)
    Carry on with this little peach of a series - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Bitte...J9FK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355950863&sr=8-1 (yes, that's a shameless plug)
    Lose weight (still)

    I started the OCSP the other year, only managed to hack about 30 machines out of 60 though and it took me about a month to do it.

    Not that much programming on the OCSP so probably easier for a network person to pass, lot of abuse of network protocols and tunneling etc.

    Let me know when you're in Diegem for the lab. We can go for waffles and beer at the Manneken Pis statue while laughing with Walloons. :thumbleft

    I think that my 2013 to do list will be much the same as my 2012 one as my degree work has largely shoved any certs to the back seat. I think next year, I will consider CDIA+ (taking free beta), CCENT, CCNA and the OCA good going. If by some miracle, I get through all of that, I may be having a peek at some MS SQL certs.
