New Cisco Certification - CCENT

archivalbackup said:
From what I have heard, Cisco was getting really annoyed at all of the people getting their CCNA and stopping with out going for any of the more advanced certs. They decided that if you just want an entry level cert with out desiring to go further, you can do the CCENT.

They have also made the CCNA much more broad, encompassing wireless and a lot more switching topics, with the idea that if you get your CCNA you will be able to handle at a basic level just about anything.

That said, I just finished my CCNP, and very glad that I continued on. :)

People will still be getting the CCNA en-masse because it is the known/accepted cert. The new one is less known, so all those hiring managers or resume pre-screeners might just gloss over the new one. And the CCNA will now be more valuable since it is a second level cert.
