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.
===
From Cisco Email 5th August 2003:-
| Quote: | Cisco has created a new technical information resource for Cisco Certified
individuals that we thought you would be interested in hearing about. It's
called the Cisco Certifications Community - a web portal designed
exclusively for the needs and interests of certified individuals and
available only to certified individuals. The community contains
certification news, networking tips, discussion groups, and learning
program information.
The community requires a Cisco.com (CCO) log-in and password and is only
accessible to individuals with valid Cisco certifications. You may visit
the site at www.cisco.com/go/certcommunity by logging in using your
Cisco.com (CCO) ID and password.
For questions about the Certifications Community, please contact our
dedicated certifications support team at: www.cisco.com/go/certsupport

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:-

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.
