[cisco-voip] CCNA/CCNP Collaboration certs

[Heim, Dennis]

This year will mark 10 years hold the CCVP/CCNP Voice for me, and mine expires Fall of this year. When I took all the exams there was still a gateway/gatekeeper exam. In my case basically I need to pass all the exams or achieve a CCIE Collaboration certification before my CCNP Voice expires.

My approach is this:

1.       Renew CCNP Voice by taking any of the existing CCNP Voice exams.

a.       Keeps is active and alive and give me time to get motivated for more certs

b.      If I have time work through the other exams in this order before Q4.

                                                               i.      TVOICE (642-427)

                                                             ii.      CAPPS (642-467)

2.       Pass CIPTV2 sometime over the next couple years to get CCNP Collaboration.

I cannot say all of this really excites me.

Better than how they handled CCSP to CCNP Security and required a complete redo.

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?
