[cisco-voip] CCNA/CCNP Collaboration certs

[Daniel Pagan]

Reminds me of the somewhat recent backlash from the IE community over the original announcement of retiring the IE-V with no migration path. I'm very glad the community spoke out in e-mail lists, support forums, and live trade shows because that original decision made very little sense.

What gets me is that a CCNP Voice needs one test to upgrade to CCNP Collaboration (http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/tools/ccnp_collab/ccnp_collab_tool.html).

Really? Only one test's worth of info is what changes between Voice and Collaboration?

If you are going to retire and invalidate a credential and move to another tract altogether, then it should be a top-down revamp, not just one test of a few new questions about video.

This feels like it is nothing more than re branding/marketing; and I shouldn't have to pay for that.

My grumpy two cents,

Ryan

Is it just me or does it seem weird for a CCNA level to now require two tests.  Money grab?
