old school ccna/ccnp's

[jihiggs]

any old school cisco folks around here? i recently got my ccna and im kind of wondering what happens when it expires. i assume i have to take a test or a refresher class. to re certify do you have to take the same test as the cert test? or do you just have to go to a seminar or somthing?

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.

So how long does it run, from start to finish?

Greetings All,

What are the best simulations exams for the 640-802 ?

I took the ccna 640-802 exam and received a 785 and needed a 825 to pass (44 questions). I prepared for this exam by making a lab with two 2650 routers and two 2950 switches. I read several books and completed both the Boson and Transcender practice exams with almost 100% correct on all the prep tests the first time around.

The problem is that the actual exam questions are far more complex then what the Boson and Transcender offered even though these exams are geared for the new CCNA exam.

Is there a better exam prep option? Iam going to purchase certmagic.com 640-802 as i heared great reviews about them. Anyone tried them? Let me know plz

Hey All, the validity of CCNA certification is just 3 years...!! you will have to re-certify CCNA exam when your validity period expires, or you could do CCNP certification which would be a better option since it doesn't comes with an expiry date...!!
