in CWNP Certifications
I've only just now found out about the CWNA certification and until now I have never heard of CWNP. Are they a exam body similar to cisco and comptia?

i've passed my network and security+ and am studying a ccent now but this CWNA has also peaked my interest as i do like to learn about wireless stuff. Is this a world recognized qualification and is it ok for someone who has a network+ to do? or does it require more experience
I'm an Xpert at nothing apart from remembering useless information that nobody else cares about.

    It is VERY recognized worldwide. If you are just starting in wireless, I would recommend their CWTS cert first before the CWNA. At least read the book.

    I agree with Bokeh there, if you worked with wireless much I would start with the CWTS. If you have worked heavily with WLAN technologies I would then start with the CWTS.

    They are popular in certain circles and the government has some of their certs as DOD8570. I would say that as far as wireless is concerned, they are probably the most popular certs from what I have seen (followed by Cisco Advanced Wireless certs).

    If you are interested in a career or job in wireless then they definitely are. Major wireless companies recognize these certs highly.
