SYNOPSIS
Certified Wireless Network
Professional’s CWNA (Certified
Wireless Network Administrator) is
an entry-level certification for
those IT professionals who are new
to wireless networking but who
want to come “up to speed
quickly,” as well as for those IT
professionals “already familiar
with wireless LANs” and who want
to fill “in any gaps in their
knowledge, and prove their
expertise to help their
competitive edge.”
Planet3 Wireless launched the
CWNA certification in the summer
of 2001. Fairly recently, the
certification changed from version
1.0 to 2.0. In terms of
recertification, essentially
candidates may either: 1)
“recertify by passing the latest
version of their current level of
CWNP certification within 24
months of the initial date of the
latest level of certification
earned”; or 2) “maintain a valid
CWNP certification status by
earning the next level of
certification within the CWNP
Program within 24 months of the
initial date of the previous level
of certification earned.”
Job roles of those pursuing
this certification typically
include: network administrators,
system administrators, and other
IT professionals with wireless in
their titles.
To achieve the CWNA a candidate
must pass one exam.
