Hello Fellas,

This question is meant for "well EXPERIENCED and VAST CISCO certified professionals" to answer.

(1)What differentiates the under listed networking professional certifications from one another? (2) And in what exact networking field/area will someone who owns each of these certifications be most RELEVANT/SPECIALIZE IN?


1. Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
2. Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)
3. Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA)
4. Certified wireless Network Professional (CWNP)
5. Microsoft Certified System Engineer: Security (MCSE: Security)
6. Microsoft Certified System professional (MCSA)
7. Cisco Certified Internet working Engineer (CCIE)
8. CISA
9 Networking and Security (KNSP): have reasons to belief KNSP entails: (A+,N+,MCP, MCSA, CCNA, CCNP, CIW/security), IS THIS TRUE?

Incase there are other relevant "NETWORKING certifications" missing from my list, will appreciate its inclusion and explanations of what it entails/relevance, I’m looking to go into networking Full time, this is the reason I want to have in-depth understanding of each certifications relevance.
