CWNA - Certified Wireless Network Associate (And other CWNP Certs)?
I'm working part time on my bachelors while working full time and I try to cert out of as many classes as I can. One of my requirements is for a wireless class. They use the CWNA cert book, and accept it as a way to test out. I figured I'd come here and check out what you guys had on it, only to find that ITPRO.TV has literally no CWNP certs. My initial assumptions is that CWNP doesn't play ball or is not really desired by the industry.
So, what gives?
We have an official course-request list that you can view and possibly submit your request for that. That way we'll make sure it's noted and viewed by those that help decided content that we make. On this one, please upvote this one to add it the list.
When there is a high demand, we try and see if it's in our wheelhouse to do immediately. If not, we search for an SME with availability that we can bring into to do that show.
The hard part is the availability. Many of these highly requested course that is not in the ITProTV wheelhouse are in such demand that SME are hard to find that are available. Put differently, they are busy folks.
The other reason that this may be more difficult in our case is that we cannot use existing courseware for another provider. So that means that our content is authored or put together only for that show. Sometimes, we can if approved by the courseware publisher but this not often from every trainer out there.
Hope this gives a little insight into what has to happen to get a requested course produced.
Hello, Question on this: Is there any hope that we will see a DEDICATED wireless course that addresses the now 2 year old request? I keep inquiring about this and get blown off using the chat bubble method. I would appreciate an honest yes or no answer so I can plan the use of my education funds either here or otherwise. Thank you.
Thank you for your continued suggestions for course development via chat. This is one of many inputs we bring into our course development queue. As Ronnie indicated, from there the content development team prioritizes which courses to develop and refresh. If a submission does not make the cut, it does not mean it is unimportant, just that it did not win out among competing priorities.
To answer your question directly: CWNA content, while in the queue for consideration, is not on our 2021 roadmap.
I hope that if you have other IT learning needs, ITPro.TV can be a resource.
Very good, thank you for the straight-forward explanation. I'll inform my manager to plan our budget for alternate wireless training resources. I really hope maybe we can see wireless courses in 2022/23 roadmap. Until then, we'll have to move on. Thank you again.
