in CCNP
Hi Im just about to start studying for my CCNP, I am going to be going down the four exam route and I was wondering if there is any order that the exams should be taken. For instance do you need the knowledge of BCSI to say complete BCMSN.
Thanks in advance

    Cisco suggests that you take it in BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW and finally ONT. You could probably do them in any order you want, but if you are new to the technology I'd sugest you start out with BSCI and BCMSN first (in any order) followed by ISCW and ONT. Good luck with your studies!

    Your welcome! What study material are you getting? I'd suggest the exam cert guides and the study guides. If you only get one though I'd suggest the study guides. I hardley used the exam cert guide for the BSCI because the study guide was a lot better. I used both about equally for the BCMSN. Just started on the ISCW, so not much of an opinion on those yet.

    Also if you have the money or an employer willing to buy I'd suggest the CBT Nuggets which are good for when you don't have a chance to read. Also don't forget about the Cisco DocCD which is full of great information and the best part is its free!

    If you are going to buy a CBT. Take a look at Braynt Videos http://www.trainsignal.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=58

    at the end .... choice is urs :)

    I have ordered the exam cert guides and will probably also end up getting the study guides,
    i havent used the CBT nuggets before so i may give them a go but budget is a bit tight as i am having to fund it all myself as i have a boss who is as tight as a ducks a*se icon_lol.gif

    The Cisco Press books should be fine with out the CBT Nuggets. Just don't take the exams lightly. Unlike the CCNA you can't just read through the exam cert guide and pass. Ensure you supplement your book study with different recources also. Good luck!
