When you commence your CCNA studies, a lot of inquiries come to thoughts!  Here are the 5 most widespread inquiries CCNA candidates have, answered by Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933.

Q. What exams do I have to take to get my CCNA?

A. The CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification provides two paths. You can take the a single-exam path by taking the 640-801 CCNA Composite exam. If you want to break it up into two parts, you can take the Introduction To Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO 640-821) and the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devcies (ICND 640-811) exams.

Q. Chris, which path do you advise?

A. I typically advocate the two-exam path, particularly for these CCNA candidates that have not taken a Cisco exam just before. The Intro exam delivers you a tiny much more time and permits you to grow to be comfortable with the Cisco exam engine, specifically the simulator questions. Let's face it, the CCNA single exam covers a lot of material, from fundamental networking to OSPF to router on a stick. Most candidates are much better off breaking this huge quantity of material into two distinct parts.

Never get me incorrect, I've had plenty of students and clients pass the CCNA composite. It can be carried out!

Q. Do I have to recertify my CCNA, or is it mine forever soon after I pass?

A. A single way Cisco protects the worth of its certifications is to enforce strict recertification policies. When you earn your CCNA, you need to recertify within 3 years.

Q. How do I recertify my CCNA?

A. There is a lot of confusion out there on this query. The newest info from Cisco is that you recertify your CCNA by undertaking any of the following 3 things:

1. Pass the current CCNA Composite or ICND exam.

two. Pass any 642-level expert level exam or any Cisco Certified Specialist exam, not like Sales Specialist exams.

three. Pass any CCIE written exam.

Q. How do I register for the CCNA exam?

A. You can take the CCNA exam at any Prometric or VUE testing center. To find a Prometric testing center near you and register on the internet, go to www.2test.com . For a VUE site, register at www.vue.com .

Q. Can you give me a braindump for the exam?

A. Boy, do you have the wrong guy!  :)

To your achievement,

Chris Bryant
