    I did something similar to prtech. I have 4-5 years of network experience and took Route first, after 3 months of hardcore studying. Then (because most of my experience is with switches) I took Switch about a month later, and TShoot the day after Switch. Depends on your background and if you've had the opportunity to see these things in action. If it's all new material, I don't think it's viable.

    Ha, CUCM is way more fun than some boring routing protocol like OSPF. icon_wink.gif

    ROUTE is what is really keeping me from pursuing CCNP. Maybe I'll change my mind one day.

    I still contend that voice engineers are a couple of bits "off" :)

    Thanks everyone for all the responses. I recently obtained a position where i will be gathering a lot of experience. Im going to shoot for early 2014 for the CCNP.

    You could honestly do the CCNP in 2 months with self study if you are are so inclined. This means 5-6 hours a day though. If you were also able to go to classes for route and switch you could do it in a month. TSHOOT does not take more than 2 hours to study for if you prepared for ROUTE and SWITCH already. I dont recommend studying at that pace because it reaaaaaly takes something out of you and will make the experience crappy. I think its better for your overall health and retention to just continously study 60-90 mins a day. Its sustainable and keeps you active.

    Amen! Voice = Ugh!
    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    The point should never be how fast can you pass a test, but how well are you learning the content.

    Patience is a valuable trait that unfortunately isn't valued enough in our society.

    With only 6 months experience at the time I got my CCNA in December '11. And with a ton of study time and access to any equipment I had my CCNP on April 5th of 2012. I work on CCNP and higher level issues in a pretty big NOC.
