So the TSHOOT exam itself,
I’ve noticed a lot of activity online about people taking exams before a particular deadline.
And just exams in general, regardless of a deadline.
I’m writing this post, mainly because I’ve been struggling to revise. And others will too, also being out of education for a number of years, you forget all those great techniques you never bothered to listen to when you did your exams in high school.
But now, you can re-learn and enhance yourself. 😉
I hate it, I always have. Its hard, it’s boring, and I could be doing other stuff I hate like tidying up.
So tonight was a saved by the bell moment, brought with a little joy.
I’ve been selected for the Cisco Champion Program 2015.
So it means I have something to blog about, =D.
The program was brought about last year for its first year, bringing together members of the community who work with Cisco products and services. Heres the official line;
The purpose of the Cisco Champions Program is to create and nurture a network of people who are passionate about Cisco and enjoy sharing their knowledge, expertise, and thoughts across the social web and with Cisco. The Cisco Champions program encompasses different areas of interest and geographical areas within the company, providing a variety of opportunities for Champions to participate in the program.
The full information set can be found in this FAQ.
I guess it shows I am passionate about an area of technology, for me I was on the Enterprise Networks last year, which looked at Datacenter and Security technologies. Which meant I was given insider exposure to Cisco UCS, which is an area I am looking at developing into, creating designs around the platform, and deploying the solutions, even having a chat with one of the Cisco UCS team members to see how the Mini fitted in with a customer design I was underway with.
I’ve also met other peers from around the world of various different job roles and experience, and shared deep dive insights and jokes with them. Which is a great way of networking further, aside from writing in community based blogs.
So thanks to all of those who reviewed my application and accepted it!
Regards
Dean
So I took and passed my CCNP Switch Exam on Monday morning. 934 out of 1000.
I’ve been meaning to do my CCNP for the past two and a half years, since I passed my CCNA, which doesn’t expire until April 2015, but will be renewed now due to the pass on switch exam.
As you may know, the current 642 CCNP series exams will be retired on 29th January, so I chose this as my hard deadline to pass the exam.
The training resources I used were
You can find my revision notes here.

So Day 8, let’s get to it.
