*** A Major Announcement From Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933*** Bulldogs, As many of you know, Cisco's CCNP program recently underwent a major change, and having been involved with Cisco certifications for over a decade, I can tell you this... ... that usually indicates a change in the CCNA program will not be far behind. In 2007, the CCNP changes were quickly followed by a major CCNA program change - and while I have no official word on this, it's been about three years since the last CCNA exam version change... ... and that's another red flag that a new CCNA exam can't be far away. I've lived through these exam changes several times, and whether it's the CCNA, CCNP, or CCIE, every time there's a Cisco exam change, there's an absolute stampede to beat the exam change deadline. Here's your opportunity to get a huge jump on this rumored change and earn your CCNA certification with no worries about upcoming exam changes.... ... and then get y...

See you later today with a new CCNA / CCNP SWITCH Training Video!
