Hey all

I'm looking at doing the CCENT while/after studying for the N+.

I saw this on Wikipedia

But elsewhere on this forum I think people talk about self studying for the CCNA or CCENT with no 'official' training.

So, is it that it's not like I can just roll up at Prometric centre and take the 640-822? I have to prove I've spent a few hundred pounds on an internet training course that will probably tell me not much more than the Cisco Press offical book, or I cant sit the 802? Grrrr

Or is Wiki wrong, because on the official Cisco CCENT page, ICND1 training comes under a recommended field, not required (the 802 exam IS under required).

Someone help, would be super appreciated
Morpeth

Yes it is incorrect, participation on that course is not needed to take this exam

 

Thanks mate, I was worried for a while there...

It's official:

http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/current_exams/640-822.html has it as recommended.

I will update Wikipedia

 

Some certifications do, for instance to take VMwares VCP exam there is a prerequisite to have sit through an official course, but in this case there isn't, which is good as it saved me a heck of a lot of money lol
