Cisco Certification: Ccna Certifcation Faq
Q. What exams do I have to take to get my CCNA?
A. The CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification offers two paths. You can take the one-exam path by taking the 640-801 CCNA Composite exam. If you want to break it up into two parts, you can take the Introduction To Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO 640-821) and the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devcies (ICND 640-811) exams.
Q. Chris, which path do you recommend?
A. I generally recommend the two-exam path, particularly for those CCNA candidates that haven't taken a Cisco exam before. The Intro exam offers you a little more time and allows you to become comfortable with the Cisco exam engine, particularly the simulator questions. Let's face it, the CCNA single exam covers a lot of material, from basic networking to OSPF to router on a stick. Most candidates are better off breaking this huge amount of material into two distinct parts.
Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of students and customers pass the CCNA composite. It can be done!
Q. Do I have to recertify my CCNA, or is it mine forever after I pass?
A. One way Cisco protects the value of its certifications is to enforce strict recertification policies. When you earn your CCNA, you must recertify within three years.
Q. How do I recertify my CCNA?
A. There is a lot of confusion out there on this question. The latest information from Cisco is that you recertify your CCNA by doing any of the following three things:
1. Pass the current CCNA Composite or ICND exam.
2. Pass any 642-level professional level exam or any Cisco Qualified Specialist exam, not including Sales Specialist exams.
3. Pass any CCIE written exam.
Q. How do I register for the CCNA exam?
A. You can take the CCNA exam at any Prometric or VUE testing center. To find a Prometric testing center near you and register online, visit www.2test.com . For a VUE site, register at www.vue.com .
Q. Can you give me a braindump for the exam?
A. you can click on the link CCNA Training
To your success,

The Ultimate Book on Microsoft Vista Computer Operating System - Book Review
The search features in this Vista Operating System are unbelievable and that is something you will definitely notice, but there are too great features in the email programs, browser and things like drawing and speech recognition, yep, all there. But, before you can use this stuff you need to learn how it all works. So, I recommend this book:
"Plain & Simple - Windows Vista" by Jerry Joyce and Marianne Moon - 2007 (an authentic Microsoft Press Book)
The sub-title of this book is very apropos; "Your Easy, Colorful, SEE-HOW Guide!" indeed, that is exactly what this book is, it's simply fabulous, illustrated and easy to use. And, did you know that a portion of this book's profits go to Smile Train, a non-profit group that helps with fixing cleft lips and palates.
Now then, this book has taken out the buzz-words and everything is in laymen's terms, for people like you and I. If you are into games, making movies or working with your associates while networking; then you are going to love this operating system once you learn how to use all this stuff. Best of all the price of this book is not that expensive at all, about $22.00 is all and I must say it is totally worth it, as this one book will hyperspace your productivity almost immediately.,
but if you are prepration for Microsoft vista exams: MCITP 70-622, MCITP 70-623,
MCSE 2003 70-620, the right place is testkingdom.com.

Microsoft Project Training – where do I start?
Non users know it might be handy for drawing project schedules – but make do with an Excel imitation and fail to appreciate the powerful planning and tracking functionality.
As project management becomes a core methodology underpinning most modern organisations it is time for companies and individuals to learn just how much more effective they could be by using Microsoft Project, alongside other everyday tools such as Word and PowerPoint.
This Guide explains the range of training options that are available.
1. Microsoft Project Training – Where do I Start?
There is no simple answer! It depends very much on your current familiarity with projects and project management software tools. You also need to take into account the skill sets that you are looking to achieve. Visit the MS Project Training Page on the Focus website for more information.
Basic Awareness
- You want to be able to set up project timelines using Microsoft Project and understand the basic tracking and reporting functionality
- If you are starting from scratch we would recommend a 2 day Introductory (Level 1) course.
- If you already have some familiarity with the software (perhaps from an earlier release) then a 1 day course would be appropriate
- If you are totally new to a project environment then introductory project management training may be a useful start point. This will help you to understand project organisation and timelines
Advanced User
- You already know how to set up a project but you want to be confident in using Microsoft Project to update plans, produce custom reports and interface effectively with other programmes
- You have probably already been on a Level 1 course and should now choose an Advanced (Level 2) course
- Depending on your level of existing knowledge choose a 1 or 2 day course
Certified Professional
- If you need certification or you require the expertise to deploy Microsoft Project in an enterprise environment then follow the official Microsoft courses
- These will prepare you to take the relevant Microsoft exam
The content of these courses is explained in the following sections.
2. Introductory Courses – Level 1
If you need to understand how to build and manage project plans, an Introduction, or "Level 1", course in Microsoft Project will get you started. Courses cover the essential skills necessary to create and modify a project plan including tasks and resources. The emphasis will be on creating the initial plan. There are versions of these training courses tailored to align with both 2003 and 2007 releases of Microsoft Project.
• Build and edit a project plan
• Create and assign resources
• Manage project costs
• Track progress
• Filter and print project plans
• Communicate your plans
• Produce reports
There are options of one or two day courses depending upon your previous knowledge and experience. The one day course assumes basic awareness of projects and project planning - perhaps from an earlier version of Microsoft Project.
If you are completely new to project management you will find it beneficial to attend a general project management introduction course first.
Please check the different training course outlines which may have a slightly different content.
The Level 1 training is not accredited by Microsoft or associated with an exam. However, all Focus courses are developed and delivered by Microsoft partner companies with a deep knowledge of the subject.
3. Advanced Courses – Level 2
Advanced or "Level 2" Microsoft Project training courses are designed for existing MS Project users who want to add to their basic skills. They will also benefit Project Managers wishing to learn how to customise Microsoft Project to their own specific requirements. You will learn to use advanced features to plan, track and analyse variances from plan. The emphasis is on how you work with a plan in the implementation phase.
• Resolve resource over-allocations
• Manage multiple projects
• Integrate MS Project with other Office applications
• Customise the MS Project interface (fields, tables, views, filters and reports)
• Record and run simple macros
• Exchange project plan data with other applications including Excel & Word
• Create and print custom reports
• Import data
• Track project progress
There are versions of these training courses tailored to align with both 2003 and 2007 releases of Microsoft Project. There are also options of one or two day courses depending upon your previous knowledge and experience.

The Level 2 training is not accredited by Microsoft or associated with an exam. However, all Focus courses are developed and delivered by Microsoft partner companies with a deep knowledge of the subject.
4. Microsoft Certified Training & Qualifications
Microsoft operates a comprehensive structure of internationally recognised certifications. Project 2007 skills have recently been incorporated into the MCTS (Certified Technology Specialist) and MCITP (Certified IT Professional) framework.
The MS5927 “Managing Projects” course is a 3 day course which provides the entry point for the other Project 2007 training. A basic knowledge of project management and experience of using MS Project to create project schedules are pre-requisites.
5. Specialist Courses
For those looking to apply Microsoft Project to specific environments there are other specialist courses available. Amongst them is one which relates specially to use of Microsoft Project to manage PRINCE2TM projects. This covers similar topics to the Level 1 course but includes guidance on how to model PRINCE2 TM processes within MS Project.

How to Find the Best MS Project Training in London
There are a few key features to look for when shopping for MS Project training in London.
Certified Instructors
Microsoft has a program to create Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs). This certification requires extensive experience both in the product in question and in technical training. The potential MCT must pass several examinations and provide proof of experience to receive the certification and must maintain these proficiencies in order to maintain certification.
Certified instructors bring breadth and depth of knowledge to MS Project training in London. Depending on your organization's needs, they can provide a broad overview of all features of Project or in-depth training with a narrower focus. Their knowledge doesn't come from books but from real-world applications that are directly relevant to your industry.
Have you ever sat through a class at university with a professor who can't hold the students' attention? A good instructor must know the material but must also have high quality teaching skills and MCTs have both.
Choice in Venues
Much of the MS Project training in London is offered in a classroom format requiring you to go to them. While this venue allows the instructor to control variables of environment and equipment, it can be inconvenient to the student. Certainly the option of a classroom with all the equipment and software needed is a good one, but some customers need alternatives.
Some instructors will come to your place of business, setting up class in your own conference room. This has the advantage of convenience for your employees, but can also be too convenient. Daily business issues may interrupt the class, not to mention that you may not be able to sacrifice the conference room for a full day or longer.
A few instructors offer the option of a mutually-agreeable third party venue. When looking for a place for MS Project training, London has many options for rented conference areas in hotels and other businesses. This option offers a location that is convenient for employees but insulated from the daily distractions of the work place.
Flexible Lesson Plans
When evaluating MS Project training, London businesses need to keep an eye on the goal of improving employee performance. A generic course often spends time teaching about features you won't use at the expense of in-depth training in relevant areas.
Instead, look for a company which will tailor the class to your organization's unique needs. This means not only emphasizing certain parts of the course, but even using your company's own work as classroom examples.
Looking for these and other features should make it easy to narrow the field down to a short list of the best MS Project training in London.
