How do you think I should describe the CCNA security cert on my resume? I am not sure if I should just say that I am CCNA Security when I also passed the basic routing and switching CCNA exam as well.

Well its a given that you passed the basic CCNA since you can't have the CCNA Sec w/o the plain CCNA. I think just listing the CCNA Sec will be fine. -

mattrgee Member Posts: 201I would list both including their exam numbers. HR can be pretty silly on these things: "Oh he doesn't have CCNA just CCNA Security, binned....."
Also it's good to list each exam and certification as it shows a continual line of achievement. -

I know a few of those too that are pursuing with out the regular CCNA. I tried to tell them though but I don't know if they believed me....An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -
