Hi All,

The Faq has been posted, no changes to last week.

The current FAQ is being revised to account for the many changes being made
to many of the certifications.

Note: the CCNA exam 640-607 is being replaced as from the 30th September.
Following is a quote from an email from Cisco Press.

Quote:
=> New CCNA Exam
On June 24, 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. announced three
enhancements to the CCNA[r] (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
Program, including a new two-step exam approach, revisions to
the existing CCNA exam, and the option for candidates to apply
one of the new exams for CCNA recertification. The CCNA 640-607
exam will retire on September 30, 2003.

CCNA certification candidates may either take the CCNA 640-801
exam (available on June 30, 2003) or the INTRO 640-821 (currently
offered as beta exam 641-821) and ICND 640-811 (available on
June 30, 2003) exams. The new ICND exam also qualifies for
recertification, providing a new option for CCNA certified
individuals.

The most important change is that the CCNA exam now covers the
material of two courses, not just one. With coverage from the
INTRO and ICND courses, CCNA candidates will need to master two
sets of networking topics for CCNA exam success.

Please note the post regarding the email from Cisco detailing updating of
the CCNP syllabus from:-

Cisco Systems Announces New Enhancements to the Cisco Certified
Network Professional (CCNP) Program

Cisco Systems, Inc. proudly announces enhancements to the Cisco
Certified Network Professional (CCNP(R)) program by introducing
four revised courses and exams. The updated course and exam
content reflects a greater emphasis on topics such as security,
converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private
networks (VPN), and broadband technologies.

Under the new guidelines, the four courses and four exams will
include:

* Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) - BSCI 642-801 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-801)
* Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) - BCMSN
642-811 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-811)
* Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN): BCRAN 642-821 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-821)
* Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT): CIT 642-831 Exam
(Beta Exam available #643-831)

I am in the process of revising the FAQ so an updated FAQ should be posted
soon.

If there are any issues please let me know.

Detailing the changes to the CCDP syllabus and more importantly changes to
the re-certification of CCNAs.

-------------------

Note that the Cisco site has had a major change/ update and the URLs in the
FAQ may be depreciated.

I have checked several which still work buit will check and update these as
soon as possible.

This particularly refers to section 16.2 which was a tutorial on the front
page of the old site.
--------------------

Take it with a rain of salt department...
=========================================

Please note that I have been notified by nrf of some slightly(!) dodgy
material in sections 211.9.x (CCIE recertification).

Until I get around to revising this section, please do not take it as
absolutely correct - refer to Cisco for definite information.
