How long time do I need to become a CCNP ???

Hello everybody !!
I would like to know, how long time it takes
to pass the four exams of ccnp ?
I'am already ccna certified; is it possible to pass the ccnp four exams in one year ?
I plan to pass one exam every 3 months ?
is it enough or too much short ?
I would appreciate your advice about the time you spent before getting all four exam.
thanks a lot

well it depends

i saw some people they clear 4 ccnp exams in 1 month with tution i.e they took the classes 5 days and 7th day they gave exam and they cleard the exam . And i saw some one who had cleared his CCIE written directly with in 3 months i.e he study ccna , ccnp , ccie in the institute and gave ccie written exam dirrectly but that is full time study almost 15 hours . You have to study from morning uptill night(no other work).1 year will be toooo much . i had attended my ccnp course 1 month and i had passed 3 exams and that i had studied 10 days for each excluding instructions from the inst.it depends on you if you are comfortable with your concepts & commands .... then you can finish it soon .

I passed CCNA, CCDA through to CCNP & CCDP (6 exams in total) in 12 months. This was all self study from the books & hands-on at work which really helped.

You can do it easily if you work hard!

Good luck....

It depends.....

It depends, not very helpful sorry.

I'm saying 1 year for mine and pretty much reckon if I could keep myself motivated I could do it.

However work keeps getting busy, the cat needs feeding etc etc.

I've just restarted BSCN after being "busy" for a month or so......

Good luck.

I dunno, I did my CCNA exam on the 18th of October, and did Foundation 2.0 last Tuesday. I've got CIT booked in for Monday so Fate willing I'll have my CCNP on Monday afternoon. That said, I didn't do any courses, and learned everything out of the Cisco Press books as well as falling back on knowledge I had about networks from my background as a Unix sysadmin. I'm planning on doing 350-001 (CCIE exam) in January some time and the lab at some point after that with a bit of luck.

I think if you have any real experience with networking (vocational or otherwise) that a timeline like this isn't too infeasible.
