in CCNP
I passed the ISCW exam this morning and now am a CCNP (one of the cool kids).icon_cheers.gif Glad I finally made it to the end! Going to take a few weeks off and then knock out CCNA Security since alot of the exam subject material ties in with that exam.

    Took me about 3 months. Would have been done a little sooner if I didn't start getting that burned out feeling.

    Materials:
    ISCW Cert Guide
    ISCW Lab Portfolio
    CBT Nuggets
    Cisco Website

    Awesome. I guess I should have been more specific. I meant the time from CCNA to CCNP :D.

    Earned my CCNA Nov. 07 and now my CCNP Aug. 09. Little less than two years. Plus I switched jobs from working as a computer technician to a network engineer in between that time (helped to push me to start CCNP). I had to learn a lot of new stuff for my job that slowed me down a little but also helped a lot! It's a great feeling to look at our network and being able to understand so much more now.
