You can not become CCVP certified with out the CCNA. Also the CCVP is more than one test, it is actually five exams.

Check here for more information on the CCVP.

And check here for information on the CCNA.

Plus there's a lot more information about Cisco Certifications on their Certification and Career Paths Introduction page.

You might also want to check out the Newbie with no networking experience thread -- its an exciting story of an innocent PBX person tossed into an accelerated Cisco Voice Training Bootcamp with only a couple CCNA/CCENT book chapters of preparation.
