The learning objectives for CWNI, which included WLAN switching and enterprise wireless gateway technologies, will be merged into CWNA and CWSP, respectively.

CWNE, which will consist of a one-day practical lab exam (a la CCIE & RHCE) will be available in 2005. To be a candidate for CWNE, one must pass CWNA, CWAP, CWSP.

Hey Kevin,

when will the learning topics
for the CWNI be tested on the CWNA and CWSP certifications. When will you put out new study guides to reflect the changes. What is the time frame for the CWAP cert study guide to become available for purchase.

Thanks!!!

WLAN switching labs will be added to CWNA this summer, and the Vernier Networks IS-6500p is already in the CWSP class today.

Learning objectives from CWNI will not be *tested* in CWNA and CWSP until both of those exams are refreshed, which won't be until the end of 2004. At that same time, we will be refreshing the study guides as well, since both will be 18 months old.

Until then, there are no changes to the exams or the books.

The CWAP Official Study Guide (written by Jim Geier, by the way) and practice test, will be available this summer. No firm dates yet, but the CWAP beta class (April) is the final determining factor for courseware, which drives creation of study guide and practice test.
