TVOICE complete [5/5] Now CCNP:Voice

Finally, the 3 year saga is over. Passed the final exam, TVOICE, now achieved my CCNP:Voice.



Materials Used:
INE videos
Cisco LiveLesson videos
CBT Nuggets
Troubleshooting Cisco IP Telephony (2002) - old, but if you take out all the CCM v4.x specific material, still handy
TVOICE Study Guide (2010) - badly scanned PDF found "online" (and in places illegible), but relevant to the exam
Home lab
Still need to go back over things I've rushed, and to fill in some blanks.
Not sure how I managed to cram in the last 3 exams in 4 months, and all without working with CUCM on a daily basis, but we get lucky sometimes.
New goals, after taking a well earned break that is, delve deeper into my recently purchased UC520W for the home network and take a look at CCNA:Security to broaden my knowledge.
PS: Must be time for pitviper to remind me of my tardiness

Comments
how did you find the difficulty compared the other exams?
Thanks! Found it harder, the last few I passed with 950+, today was the low 800's...but, a pass is a pass!
Thanks. I'm sure it won't be long.
it is just capable of covering so many areas, anything from CVOICE, CIPT1 and CIPT2, makes it v.hard to focus your study on given areas
CUCM SRND 9x/10, UCCX SRND 10x, QOS SRND, SIP Trunking Guide, anything contact center related
LOLOLO - I can't say much, I working on a 3-year CCNP R&S cert myself
Come on, it hasn't been a week yet.
Plus its always good to broaden you knowledge base. Not really interested in the Sec track, but at least have a foundation level understanding of Site-to-Site and Remote VPN, ASA and also Nexus which I'm dealing with more. There's always more to learn.
When I finish CCNP Voice I am doing the same. I've done a fair amount of ASA and VPN so it shouldn't be too difficult and will be a good refresh. Probably CCDA after CCNA Security eventually CCNP plus ARCH for CCDP as well. I don't enjoy complex routing so who know if I'll ever make it that far.
I did CCDA after CIPT1, just due to being out on the road living out of motels for 6 months with work. CCDA will put you to sleep, very very dry subject...all theory and concepts, having done SWITCH (which I hadn't) would definitely helps.
Going for CCNP R&S now?
