Cisco Certification In What Order Should You Take Your CCNP ExamsWhen you choose to pursue your Cisco Certified Network Professional certification, you've got some decisions to make right at the beginning. Cisco offers a three-exam path and a four-exam path, and you select the order in which you'll take and pass the exams. How To Become A True CCNA How To Become A True CCNA Ive worked my way from the CCNA to the CCIE, and along the way Ive conducted job interviews and casual conversations with dozens of CCNAs and CCNA candidates. Believe me,.. The "middle" exams are the BCMSN (Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks, 642-811) and BCRAN (Building Cisco Remote Access Networks, 642-821). There is no real advantage in taking one of these before the other, although most candidates take the switching exam, then the remote access exam. I do recommend you take the CIT (Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting) exam last. This exam will demand you put into action the skills you have learned while earning your CCNA and passing the first three exams. Again, it's not written in stone and there are always exceptions, but CCNP candidates do seem to have more success on this exam when they take it last. Should you choose the three-exam path, you'll be taking a Composite exam (642-891). This exam combines the BSCI and BCMSN exams, and it's best to take this one first. It builds nicely with your CCNA skills. Again, I would take the BCRAN exam after the Composite, and the Troubleshooting exam last. Five Questions To Ask A Computer Training School Before Signing Up Five Questions To Ask A Computer Training School Before Signing Up As with any field, there are good technical training schools, and bad ones. When you sign up with one of these schools, you?ve made.. Whichever path you choose, you've chosen wisely in which certification to pursue. The CCNP is a true test of your networking skills, and when you make the decision to go after the CCIE, you'll be glad to have the solid foundation of networking skills your CCNA and CCNP studies gave you.
