RE: Cisco Qualified Specialist--the end for CCNP/CCDP?
Note that it says CCNP Specializations (not the CCNP or CCDP) can not be recertified.

RE: Cisco Qualified Specialist--the end for CCNP/CCDP?
All depends on your organization and your job role. Although the CCNP and CCDP are becoming much more common, they are no where near as common (or undervalued) as an NT 4.0 MCSE. And I was referring to reseller requirements, which does not apply to everyone, because we all don't work for resellers. But thanks for you opinion. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vincent Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2001 12:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cisco Qualified Specialist--the end for CCNP/CCDP?
