Taking BCMSN without CCNA ?
Just a quick question:
Could I take the BCMSN exam without having a CCNA ?
I know that this would get me no cert but I'm currently thinking. I've been planning on getting my CCNP for a long time and have collected quite a lot of material for BCMSN so I was thinking about slaying it before the deadline so my resources don't get useless.
I'm very close to CCNA level so I think butchering BCMSN should be possible with some good studying in the next weeks.

Yes you can. You would have to get a valid CCNP before you could get the CCNP though. But you can take that exam. I'm not sure how it works going backwards down. I don't know if they give you a deadline or what. -

Exams are good for 3 years to apply to a Cisco Certification. They would have to earn their CCNA within 3 years of taking their first CCNP exam to meet all the requirements & prerequisites for the CCNP.billscott92787 wrote: »I don't know if they give you a deadline or what.
If they earn their CCNA 3 years and 1 day after passing the BCMSN exam, they'd have to retake the BCMSN exam again, since it would no longer be valid to count toward the CCNP.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

actually they'd have to take SWITCH, since BCMSN isn't going to be available after 3 years and 1 day! -

You can take my switch exam if you want, I'm finding to many detractions at the moment.. Got to get in a few more hours tonight and for the next few days and think by end of the week I be ready.- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
