- 1. What does "CWNE" mean?
CWNE means "Certified Wireless Network Expert". The operative word here is "expert", and anyone who earns this certification will be worthy of that title, because that individual will possess a great deal of knowledge about 802.11 WLANs, and, furthermore, be able to apply that knowledge to real world, in-the-field scenarios.
- 2. What topics are covered on the CWNE exam?
Please review the exam objectives.
When we say that these topics are "covered" or "tested" on the exam, we mean that they are covered and tested in depth.
- 3. What are the specifics of the CWNE exam?
See the exam details here.
- 4. How do I earn the CWNE certification?
To earn your CWNE, you have to pass 3 exams: PW0-100 (CWNA), PW0-200 (CWSP), and PW0-300 (CWNE), meet the professional requirements, and then complete the CWNE application. You must pass all three exams, though you can take them in any order.
- 5. What is the recertification policy for CWNE?
It depends on when you earn it. If you earn it in by passing CWNA, CWSP, and CWAP, then your CWNE certification is valid until 12/31/2008. To recertify your CWNE certification, you'll need to pass the current version of the CWNE exam, PW0-300.
If you earn your CWNE certification - or if you recertify - after January 1, 2007 (includes passing exam PW0-300), then your CWNE certification is valid for life.
- 6. What about instructor led training for CWNE?
We're working on that as well, and we expect several vendors to produce both vendor neutral and vendor specific training that will cover the objectives for the CWNE exam. Information on CWNE training will be made available later this year.
- 7. When will the CWNE study guide be available?
We have adopted the IEEE 802.11 Handbook as the official study guide for the CWNE certification. This book is in its second edition, and is a fantastic resource, whether you plan on earning your CWNE certification or not. You can get the book here.
