After having just achieved CWNA and now working on CWSP I have "some" understanding of the articles I read about 802.16. Is there any thought or posts on vendor neutral certifications for WiMAX?

The CWNP Program is dedicated strictly to 802.11 technology - at least for the forseeable future. There are many promising new technologies, such as WiMAX, RFID, Bluetooth, and others. Some are more popular than others, and they all have their place, but WiFi is the one wireless technology that we feel is sustainable for a long time to come. We're going to focus purely on 802.11x (meaning all of the 802.11 standards).

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
