This is probably not the best place to ask, but I noticed there are some Cisco people here, so I'll try anyway.
I'm currently finishing the CCNP curriculum at my school and the way I understand it is that you have to do an exam for each of the 4 parts at a certified test center to become an 'official' CCNP.
Not to be cheap or anything, but they do cost 126 EUR each, which adds up if you have to take five of them (CCNA + 4 CCNP) and you're still a (unemployed) student, just to put this "word" on your CV.
Basically, do you guys think this is a good investment to make or is it unimportant to have when you're just starting out, considering I don't have any real-world experience to back my CCNP up?
BTW: Just wondering, any CCIE's out here on the forums?
