CCIE-W = Half Way There!

So all attendees of Cisco Live this year got a free exam from Pearson Vue if you registered before a certain date along with 50% off exams registered at the event. Now I had taken the CCIE Wireless beta back in November so I figured what the heck I would give it another go. I read all the documents on the exam blueprint and took the CCNA Wireless as a prep for this attempt. Going into the exam I felt more confident, but still not 100% confident. Long story short, I took it on Monday and got a 930 / 1000 which is a passing score! Now of course that means the easy part is done, I have to take the practical lab yet which will be killer I’m sure.

How does this line up with my career goals? Well I wanted to have my CCIE numbers within 5 years of starting at Enventis which was almost 2 years ago, so I guess I’m right in line of my goal! I may try for my CCNA Voice as well just to get some experience on that side of the technology as well.
