CCNP in 6 months?!

Has anyone ever gone from just getting your CCNA to CCNP in 6 months? I was looking at an employers job page and some of the qualifications were to receive a CCNP within 6 months.

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.

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.
