in CCNP
I passed ONT today! This completed my CCNP. I started my CCNP journey back in 08 and got derailed by a brain hemorrhage then a MS cert adventure. I used CBT Nuggets, Transcender, questions that came with ONT book, ONT book, QOS book, home lab, and the Quick Reference guide. Experience at work played a role as well. Feels good to have it completed finally! I received an 877.

    Thanks all! Just got back from celebrating! There will be more of that this weekend. I'm thinking that I'll start working on an Exchange 2010 cert next. I am taking off for a little while due to getting married, honeymoon, and buying a house. I will start CCNA Security after Exchange.

    I love how you nonchalantly mention that you got derailed by a brain hemorrhage (I remember when that happened - glad you're doing well).

    Congrats on the accomplishment!

    another perk of passing...my job decided to move me to second in command in the network engineering dept. The guy over me has been with the company for 5 years. This should bring higher pay as well.

    Congratulations on passing the CCNP and getting married, and getting a new house.

    Above all, well done for recovering from your illness, man that must have been a tough time.

    And I thought I had it bad... lol!

    Well done once again :)
