Training for BSCI or BCMSN

guys,

If you will be given a chance to attend a training either BSCI or BCMSN what will you choose? In my case im planning to start CCNP with BSCI first then BCMSN. Our company use BGP and a little OSPF inside our L3 Core Switches for the inter-vlan routing and i only know the basics of BGP. I heard that BCMSN is harder than BSCI, is it true?

Thanks guys, i appreciate your response.

Go for the training in the BSCI! To me the BCMSN was cake. The BSCI has a lot more material in it than the BCMSN and I would think it would be better to know as much about the BSCI before actually studying for it.

What scheister said. Read through this forum and you'll see that BSCI has a ton more material to go through than switching.

The only people that say the BSCI is easier are people that handle IGP's on a regular basis. Most people deal with switching more so the BCMSN is usually easier. I found them to be equally difficult.

I will also say BSCI. The BSCI for me (and most) is by far the hardest test in the CCNP track due to hwo detailed it covers IGP's , redist, and BGP. Switching IMHO, is quite easy granted it has it's little quirks, but when compared to the BSCI, the BCMSN almost seems like a cakewalk.
