Order in working towards CCVP

floppydisk

Dear all,

What is the appropriate order for taking these exams to achieve CCVP?

642-642 QOS Quality of Service (QOS)
642-432 CVOICE Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE)
642-426 TUC Cisco Voice over IP Fundamentals (CVF)
642-444 CIPT 4.1 IP Telephony Troubleshooting (IPTT)
642-453 GWGK Implementing Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers (GWGK)

thank you very much for your advise.

Probably TUC last -- since its hard to troubleshoot something you haven't learned yet.

If you did the CCNP, the QoS exam should continue with the QoS from there -- so it would be an easy one to start with. If you are jumping straight to the CCVP from the CCNA.... its a toss up.

If TUC doesn't mention QoS in the exam blueprint (I took the old IPTT exam), you might be able to leave it towards the end.

CVOICE definitely as the first voice course (once you figure out where to do QoS).

I did CIPT before GWGK and that seemed to work for me.
