Thumbs up Passed 640-802 today!

I decided to take composite to avoid the very detailed questions. I felt very confident going in and was very happy to have passed!

Just purchased Cisco's offical self study guide for BCMSN and will start next week.

Congrats on the pass.
Is it true that you get your CCENT cert aswell as CCNA cert. I heard that you get both if you pass the 640 - 802 exam?

Best of luck with your CCNP quest.

Regards

Eamonn

No, you don't get the CCENT if you have passed the CCNA single exam.

As others have answered, no, but. . .

That's not to say you can't earn both with a similar route.

Taking the ICND1 and THEN the composite earns you both. Yes, it's more expensive to go that route than to take ICND2 as the second exam, but taking the ICND1 gets your feet wet and gets you a cert en route.

We had someone here recently -- who didn't mind spending even more money -- do it that way. The ICND1 for the CCENT. And then the CCNA exam for the CCNA.

I think the CCNA exam does have more questions than the ICND2 exam, but they have to use up a bunch of them asking the "easy ICND1 stuff" -- so the CCNA exam may actually be "easier" than the ICND2 exam. And since the ICND2 stuff builds on what you learned while studying for the ICND1 exam, you shouldn't really forget anything important from the ICND1 exam topics that are in the composite CCNA exam topics.

If you don't need (or want) the CCENT "resume candy" then the 640-802 single CCNA exam is a good option.

Putting CCENT alongside CCNA on your resume is redundant....and stupid. No offense.

A noob may want and need that CCENT on their resume..... but other experienced people can probably get away with out it (or without listing it).

The only Cisco Specialization I list on my "main resume" is the Cisco IP Telephony Design Specialist -- that's the only one that isn't "represented" by either my CCVP or CCSP. Plus that's also the one certification that has gotten me the most calls & emails from headhunters. And my "programmer resume" doesn't mention any of my Cisco certifications at all. And none of my resumes has ever mentioned any Hardware or Microsoft Server skills.....

Different resume for every different line of work. You've got your bases covered, I'll give you that.

Admittedly, I missed mentioning that. If you go the ICND1/Composite route, drop that CCENT when you're done.

It's also a more expensive route, but may be worth it for some.
