CCNP Wireless?

gbadman

Why is there no dedicated CCNP Wireless section on here? This is something I've always wondered about. After all the track has been around for a while now. Is it just that people on here aren't too keen on the track?
I think I've read somewhere on here that expert (and perhaps even pro) level certifications for wireless are overkill, since it is just an access layer technology. Perhaps this view limits the number of people taking it up.

There doesn't appear to be lots of people working on the certification -- at least via self study.

Once people start to work on the CCNP Wireless Exams and post about them -- here in the CCNP Forum is fine -- then we'd consider the need for a dedicated CCNP Wireless Forum and move the existing posts to a new forum (like was done with the CCNA Specializations).

Last time I checked there were no books available on the Cisco Press website for the CCNP Wireless exams -- and there wasn't even a mention of the CCNP Wireless anywhere at all on the Cisco Press web site that I could find.

And the cost of the hardware/software to build a lab (for those people without access to a wireless lab at work) is pretty high.

I think the official course should be available somewhere for people lucky enough to have work pay for the classes.

Hopefully the eLearning is available for Cisco Business Partners to get their people trained to sell and support Cisco Wireless Solutions -- and earn the CCNP Wireless to meet any Cisco Partner Level Specialization requirements.

People wanting to do the CCNP Wireless via self study have the exam blueprints and Cisco Documentation web site to guide them -- and their own check book to buy lab hardware/software.
