Now that I have CCNA and CWNA, what's next? CCDA or CCNP? or Maybe something else?

    I think the CCNP would be a good move. After gaining my CCNA, I still feel like I don't know enough. I'm studying for Switch now. Multilayer switching is amazing. Finally getting answers for questions I wanted to know about when studying for CCNA.

    Hi , well I am studying for icnd2 and hopefully within 2 months I will pass my exam and be a full ccna , and my plan after that is to move right way into ccnp and then I will do ccna voice , the answer to your question just you can answer it ,it's your call.

    CCNP logically next. Once that's done you can go back and get your CCDA and move to CCDP. I'm going for CCNA Security/Voice and CCDA before I jump back into the professional track, all while solidifying the foundations for the CCIE R&S.

    I see everybody agree with CCNP. I still think CCDA should be next. CCNA and CCDA are both a the Associate level. Then one moves up the ladder to the Professional level.

    Now in terms of job postings, CCNP has more job offers.

    Cisco recommends CCNP level knowledge of switching prior to attending the CCDA classes, I'm just sayin'.

    It all depends on what you want to do. Do you enjoy networking?

    Logically go for the CCNP before your CCDA - Do you manage Servers if then you can cross the border and head to MS Certifications ( only if you work with these technologies )

    As a start, I wanna have a bit of everything. CCNA for Network Basics, CWNA for Wireless basics, CCDA for Design basics, and then I'll get a Security Certification like CISSP or CISM. Do I have a point?
