The US Army requires CWNA & CWSP

As part of its Best Practices, the United States Army requires the CWNA and CWSP certifications in addition to the certifications required by Department of Defense Directive 8570.1.

Prometric Locations on Military Bases

All CWNP exams are delivered only at Prometric Authorized Testing Centers. Prometric maintains testing centers on most military bases, so military personnel can take their CWNP exams on base. Find your base's testing center here.
 

The G.I. Bill covers CWNP exams

All CWNP exams are now eligible for reimbursement under the Montgomery and Post 9/11 G.I. Bills. Because you served your country in the U.S. Military, the cost of your CWNP exams is covered under the Montgomery and Post 9/11 GI Bills. You can find complete instructions at the following link: https://www.cool.army.mil/search/CredAgencySearchAlpha.htm#C
 

The GI Bill is not just for college!

If you are a veteran or currently in the guard or reserve, the On-The-Job Training (OJT) Program offers you an alternative way to use your VA (GI Bill) education and training benefits. Read the press release here. Your next step should be to contact your nearest VA Regional Office or local State Approving Agency (SAA). Your SAA will help you get started on the process and answer any questions you may have.
 
 

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
