''My goal is to sit my CWNA exam in a few weeks and my CWNP exam in a month. Then I???¡é?¡é?????¡é???¡ém looking at CCNA, CCNA Voice and CCNA Security. I don???¡é?¡é?????¡é???¡ét know if you have those, but I think they are a good mix. I knew that I had to adapt. The satellite industry goes up and down, but I know that I have to be flexible and learn new skills myself''.

Hi Dave,

The above was coined from one of your replies to the topic "Wireless specialist relevancy".

I hv been ffg the thread and I commend you for your honest views. Sometimes I wish geography could bring us close to each other, but thank God for forums like this.

Now I suscribe to your opinion in the quoted statement above, but I had like to know how best to prepare for multiple vendor certifications as stated above. Do you prepare and take the exams one at a time? or do u read two or more of these vendors certs (paripasu) and take them almost at the same time?

I asked because I had like to have multiple vendors certifications too (necessary ones) so I had like to know how best to address such situation.

FYI: I am currently preparing for the CWNA (self-study with hands-on in a WISP) and should take it latest by February 2010.

How about having your personal email for more intimate discussions etc.

Hi

At one time,I had books for three certifications all open at the same time. That did not work. I found that after a month, stuff that was crystal clear in my head was now fuzzy. What I now do is this:

I take a book [ say the CWNA ] and read over it once. I then start on another book [ say CWSP ]. At the same time, I open the CWNA book to the questions section of each chapter and read and try to answer the questions one chapter per day. I make a note of the areas I am weak in and review that, as well as the "summaries" at the end of each chapter.

On top of that, I have to read for my own profession [ satellite and microwave ] for subjects which are not certifiable, just to keep up to date.

In this way, I am "staggering" these study areas.

This is most comfortable for my own personal studying manner, but may not be suitable for everyone. I had a lot of time on my hands, so this was not a normal situation.

Of course I haven't actually sat any certification exams yet physically, so this may all collapse in a horrible heap !!

You can contact me via the forum PM system if you want.

Cheers

Dave
