Are there any IPV6 centric exams or certifications out there?

in General Certification
Just curious, this is something that I would lilke to get a deep understanding of. Does anyone know of any certifications or exams that deal primarily with the implementation, conversion, and new technologies associated with IPV6?

    Yep, the cert from Hurricane Electric is the first, and to be honest the only one that comes to mind...

    Does Hurricane hold any weight as far as certs are concerned?

    Seriously?

    Level-1: How many bits are in an IPv6 address and how do you write them?
    Level-2: Have an IPv6-capable OS
    Level-3: Have an IPv6-capable Webserver
    Level-4: Have an IPv6-capable E-mail server

    HE's certifications seem to be more about encouraging the public to use IPv6, than teaching network engineers or administrators to work effectively in an IPv6 environment. Something is better than nothing and could be used as a talking point, but any networking experience or certifications would trump it.

    If there aren't any IPV6 specific certifications, then could anyone tell me which certifications could effectively showcase ones advanced knowledge of IPV6?

    "By taking the CCNA, CCNP, CCIE Routing and Switching, CCDA, CCDP, or CCDE certification exams - certified by the IPv6 Education Certification Program - IT professionals will be able to demonstrate that they have attained IPv6 knowledge and skills at the associate, professional or expert level.



    Cisco also offers additional training with the “IPv6 Fundamentals, Design and Deployment Course (IP6FD)”. This course has been Gold certified by IPv6 Forum. After successfully completing the course, candidates can include on their resumes that they have attended the IPv6 Forum Gold Certified course."

    Depaul University offers a IPv6 certification program that can be taken online or presencial.
    It includes configuring MB BGP, IPv6 VPNs, rip next gen.
    It also includes a very technical thorough view of the packets in IPv6 and many IPv6 protocols.
    You can see the class brochure here IPv6

    The class is also certified by the IPv6 forum as a "Silver Level".

    If you decide to take the class, please have a strong foundation of Networking. This is not a beginner's class.
