Renew CCENT

in CCNA & CCENT
If I take and pass CCENT (ICND 100-101), I know you can renew it and get your CCNA by taking ICND 200-101. But what if you wait 2 to 2 1/2 years and the ICND 2 exam has been refreshed and is call 200-102 or something. Will that still renew the CCENT and upgrade me to full CCNA?

    If you wait too long you forget the ICDN1 knowledge.

    Only Cisco can answer that scenario; No one here can answer definitively.

    With that being said:
    Based on their last Refresh (from 2013), the upgrade path was backwards-compatible:

    So... i think you're good :]

    That tells me what I need to know. Based on what Cisco has done in the past I would be fine, but they can change it up and go a whole other path.

    My plan is to get the CCENT, then the MCSA 2012. I need that information for my current job to move up. After that I will get the CCNA. I dont plan on taking more than a year to circle back to the CCNA.

    Hmmm,

    I'm a little confused:
    Is your job making you get the Microsoft? or is it the Cisco?
    Are they providing you with the course material? (or perhaps sending you to a class?)

    I'm going to give you some (possibly bad) advice:
    What do YOU want to DO?

    That's what matters most.

    If you want to be a M$ sysadmin, then go for the MCSA.
    If you want to be a network engineer, then go for the Cisco.

    You can always find a new job doing stuff that interests you :)
