ONT before ISCW

Anyone got any opinions on doing the ONT before ISCW??

My work may pay for ONT because it covers a lot of stuff that we will be getting into over the next few months?

The two courses look pretty different so i can't really see an issue...

just wanted to know your thoughts.

I don't think it would be an issue. I haven't seen any overlap between the ISCW and the ONT.

Actually there is some overlap, but its very minor.. the ONT exam blueprint states describing QoS over VPN tunnels, but really you just kinda have to know what they are .. and not how to configure them in detail.

If it is going to be work related then I would study for that exam

I definitely agree. Studying up on something you'll be working with not only benefits you at work, but also helps you understand the material better. Go for it, and let us know how you're progressing.

I did my ONT first and now I'm working on ISCW. I haven't found that much overlap so long as you already understand basic concepts. If you do run across something in your ONT studies that is unfamiliar, you can always study ahead on that and it will only help you on other exams.
