Appendix B. What to Do After CCNP?
This appendix covers some options for you after becoming a qualified Cisco Certified Network Professional.
You can pursue one more challenging step: the coveted Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification. Cisco introduced the CCNA and CCNP certifications so candidates can follow a preferred, gradually building path to the CCIE certification. However, CCNA and CCNP are not prerequisites to attempt the CCIE examination.
Note
If you are interested in leading training courses, another difficult certification option is Cisco Certified Systems Instructor (CCSI). This certification is aimed mainly at partners who supply the Cisco course material to the general public. For information, go to www.cisco.com/partner/training/course_channelpartners.shtml ...
