Time has come to decide what to do in 2014. After clearing my CCIE wireless lab exam on Aug 2013, I was wondering what’s next for me. I know I will be busy with migrating my campus network to Converged Access (from CUWN) & enabling 802.11ac (deployment of 3700) would be two key tasks in the wireless space.
From study perspective, I have decided to go for CWNE (Certified Wireless Network Expert) certification within 2014.
I have already purchased official study guides for this & all arrived today.(Thanks Tuhin for posting these to me & become my study partner on this journey)
Happy Holidays everyone & merry X’mas

Hello Riska ,
after I passed in my ccie wireless exam, Still I can not decide what is the next step, CCIE Voice ….. CCIE Security ……or Aruba Certifications !
why did you choose to go with CWNE ?
what is your advice ?
I still feel, I should learn wireless more, fundamentals. CWNE is the best on that as it is vendor neutral & go deep in wireless technology.
All depend on your interest & technology you are working with.

Hi sir , After CCNA wireless is it wise to go direclty for CCIE wireless ? or shall I go for CCNP papers?
If you haven’t got any CCIE lab attempt experience or enough practical experience configuring Cisco wireless products, I would suggest to follow the CCNP & learn the technology first.
For me, I had CCIE R&S & I knew how I should study + 2-3 years of experience configuring Cisco wireless products.

Hi Sir ,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am not able to find complete study guide for CCNP wireless .I am getting only quick reference books for that.
Probably look for CCNP wireless training providers & see.
Here is one provider

So in your opinion, how is a person supposed to study for the CCNP-Wireless certification when it has no textbooks for the track? IMHO, the quick reference sheets were spit out just the keep the track from having nothing at all. Nor can I find out from anyone at Cisco if any are coming out. I’m wondering if I’d be better off pursuing the CWNA/CWNP/etc track instead? What do you think? Unfortunately, I don’t work with wireless where I’m employed.
Hi Jeff,
Yes, for CCNP-W there are not official exam guides, you have to go for instructor lead training courses if you want to get some complete reference books.
I think CWNA/CWNP path is ideal if you want to learn the wireless technology (vendor neutral),It is good for you as you do not get day to day wireless configuration experience.
Even I did CCIE-W, I feel CWNP is very good to learn wireless technology which will not cover any Cisco exam scopes.
