Juniper offers free training to Juniper certs for Cisco cert

might be of interest to you guys - good way to diversify especially if you're interested in backbone stuff. i believe juniper is generally considered better for backbone.

Juniper, the challenger to Cisco in the service provider core routing and enterprise networking markets is making its boldest move yet to target the Cisco enterprise installed base. It is offering free training to Cisco certified professionals worldwide to become Juniper-certified. The program ends December 2007 and is aimed at Cisco Certified Network Associates, Cisco Certified Network Professionals, and Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts .....

I bet it's just for US based peeps. I guess I haven't got my CCNA yet though!

Im in Japan and they let me register and I went through the Second Language course. Pretty sure I will get the voucher as well.

Actually, I heard that this was originally only for non-US people anyway, so everybody interested should sign up!

Interesting. I'm going to check in on this.

good news that non-US can sign up. i imagine they'll keep the program going. after all the lack of juniper certified people isn't going to be solved over a few months.

reckon i might have a crack at this after i've got my CCNA (fingers crossed for sept 20th). the syllabus can't be wildly different from CCNA. besides it's a free exam (so long as i can take it somewhere nearby). although i guess it's yet another exam that'll need to be recertified in future so they'll get there money back!

Does anyone that has taken the Juniper Track know how feasible this really is? I mean how likely is it that someone can be ready for the Juniper exam after a week of study? These are 3 day cram sessions. How difficult are the Juniper exams as compared to Cisco exams?

I'm seriously considering putting some time into this so any input would be great.

I saw info on this sometime back and i'm thinking about taking a crack at it after I get by CCNA (positive thinking

) as well...

I will jump in the bandwagon if it's worth the certification. However I still need to take my CCNA first.

The enrollment process was simple. It's completely e-learning, with a free Prometric voucher at the end.

I'm asking myself, why wouldn't I take the time to do this? *shrug* Nothing really pertinent comes to mind. So I guess I'll put Switching on the back burner for a month and tackle this freebie. I mean, why not?

ITdude

Sounds kinda interesting. I guess that is what Juniper was hoping.

JohnDouglas

doesn't seem there's much to lose really. although like i say unless you're in backbone the Juniper bit might not actually be of any use! but looks good on the cv and is free.

Netstudent

i think I'm gonna have to put cisco on the backburner for this one as well. It seems too easy and too free to not add some other vendors to your cert list.

Very interesting, I think this is going to be worth a look into as well. I'd be interested to know if anyone else takes this offer up and their experience.

JohnDouglas

Excellent, I think this might have been the first useful thread I've ever posted on the in internet!

I guess this thread can be the Juniper support thread then. Lets hope they continue with their free certs next year too. Cunning move by Juniper - although I guess they'll need to slash the prices of their kit to make any real progress in the market.

Does anyone know if this offer still on? I do not see the free training offer on Juniper's website, not sure if I miss something here, thanks!
