Let me revise my statement a bit. I definately don't think it's going to be possible to pass any advanced expert or prorfessional level exam without any practical experience. I haven't taken the CCNA tests in several years, and when I did take them I had a good bit of hands on experience with real routers, so I don't have a good frame of reference for that. I do think that most of the entry level exams (most of them having a mathmatical operator at the end of the name) could be passed with six months to a year of in depth studying and little experience. Either way, I definately recommend getting eperience with the technology that you're being tested on as part of the learning process.

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.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

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.
