Reply To: WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR CWNA

Personally, I work for a WiFi MSP (managed services provider) and even my boss doesn’t see the value in highly training and certifying our team by use of CWNP’s vendor neutral certification tracks. Then again, the only certifications that are ever arranged by the company are free ones provided by our vendors which are required to reach or maintain certain partner levels. A good amount of our competitors not only pay for certs but require them. Ignorance is bliss as they say and only the highly trained teams will prevail in the end is my belief. Oh by the way, WiFi is not plug and play!
The good news is that not only will CWNA certification teach and certify you on WiFi technologies that exist in the ISM bands, but the CWNA exam track and beyond also teach and certify you in a number of RF propagation, modulation, and antenna principles which can be useful when working with cellular technologies such as LTE which are also continuing to grow. But don’t fret, if high powered transmitters and inanely complex modulation schemes aren’t your thing, WiFi is here to stay and grow. Bring on .ac!
