Recertification question

Qord

I looked around Cisco's site a bit, but couldn't find an answer to this. How does CCAI fit into the recert scheme? If I get a CCAI, does that recertify my CCNA, or does it replace my CCNA? If I were to get a specialty cert (Security, Voice, etc.) Would that recertify my CCAI, and vice versa?

Doesn't look like it. CCAI and CCSI are separate from the regular certifications and don't recertify anything else. Information on CCAI is fairly minimal but nobody doing CCSI seems to mention anything at all about it recertifying anything else.

Cisco only list the following as methods of recertifying for CCNA:

Pass the current ICND2 exam, or
Pass the current CCNA exam, or
Pass any current CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, or security, or voice, or SP Ops), or
Pass any current 642-XXX Professional level exam, or
Pass any current Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams or MeetingPlace Specialist exams or Implementing Cisco Telepresence Installations [ITI] exams), or
Pass any current CCIE Written Exam, or
Pass the current CCDE Written Exam OR current CCDE Practical Exam, or
Pass the Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) interview AND the CCAr board review to extend lower certifications
