| Cisco to Retire Routing Exam 640-603: |
|
Cisco's web site states, "As of September 13, 2002, BSCI 640-901 will replace the Routing exam (RTING 640-603) for CCNP and CCDP certifications. The Routing exam will retire. Individuals registering for the Routing exam on or before September 13, 2002 will be able to take that exam through October 25, 2002."
This comes as somewhat of a surprise given the fact that Cisco put considerable effort into revamping this exam only a few months ago.

| CompTIA to Develop Wireless Certification: |
|
CompTIA recently announced that they will be releasing a new vendor neutral certification for wireless technologies. Our guess is that it will be called Wireless+.
This new exam will likely be available in 2003. For more information click here.
