It's a, you can say, must I have to get CWNP certs cause we are going to need them at job. I'm new to this path, so I went CWNP website and look for info and all that. And my question is, which is the route to go ? For what i see, i think (and probably i'm wrong) its CWTS -> CWNA-> CWSP -> CWNE I would love if somebody can tell me if that's correct and if not which one is the correct order. In regards of materials, i already take a look at books people is recommending here and I have access to CBT. If there's anything else you think would be good, it would be nice if you can please tell me. Thanks to everybody for your help. And I hope to see you soon here at this part of the forums.
6. Continuing Education Requirement While there is no recertification requirement for CWNEs, there is a continuing education requirement to maintain active CWNE status. The CWNE continuing education program is a points-based system where the candidate must document 25 continuing education points bi-annually. Details such as continuing education points can be found in the CWNE Continuing Education Policy, found here.

However, I've kept an interest from 802.11 all the way through. Over time, and with promotions, my role has changed to the extent that I am classed as a technical Service Manager/Asset Manager, working with suppliers and customers. One of my recent roles has involved needing to understand a heck of a lot more about wireless. I didn't want to go into meetings or read documentation without a proper understanding, so I got the books and read the white papers. David Coleman used to visit another site I frequent; however, he hasn't been there for 2 or 3 years. So, I went looking for him. OK, I didn't find him on here... but I found you guys and probably the most information I have found this far about wireless.
