Steve,
Welcome to the Tuesday, August 5 edition of The Mastermind!
Thanks to everyone who emailed me regarding the Cisco Jeopardy post yesterday! I'll bring that feature back once in a while just to do something a little different with the daily questions!
There's quite a lot going on here at TBA, including next week's release of the ONT Study Package and the beginning of my Video Tutorial Series! I'll post these tutorials on both my website and YouTube, and we'll cover everything from Cisco home lab help to routing protocol basics.
If there's a topic you'd like to see covered in this new series, be sure to email me and let me know!
For today, I have a new CCNA exam on the website, and quite a few CCNA Security and CCNP exams in the pipeline.
So with no further ado...
Let's get started!

Cisco Has Announced Three Additional CCNA Certifications!
But To Earn Them, You've Got To Be CCNA Certified, So Get Started Today!
Cisco has announced three brand-new CCNA-level Certifications:
CCNA Security
CCNA Voice
CCNA Wireless
Click those links to go to the new resource pages I've created for each new exam - I'll post practice questions, written tutorials, and video training on those pages in the weeks and months ahead.
There is a new CCNA Security tutorial on using SDM to configure one-step lockdown - the link is on the CCNA Security Resource page.
These new certifications are going to be a tremendous career boost to those who earn them.
Why? Just look at these statistics!
Security: Right now, 46% of companies included in the survey have a position dedicated to security - that's going to almost double over the next five years to 80%.
Voice: Currently, 40% of surveyed customers have a voice specialist. That number will rise to 69% in the next five years.
Wireless: While 33% of surveyed companies currently have a position dedicated to wireless, that value will double over the next five years to 66%.
(Stats were arrived at by Forrester Consulting during a study sponsored by Cisco. You can get a copy here.)
Those statistics tell a simple tale:
Network admins who have knowledge and certification in security, wireless, and voice will have a huge advantage over network admins who do not.
That's why Cisco is introducing these new certifications, and exactly why I'll be releasing Study Packages for all three of these specializations, beginning in September!
There's one detail you need to take care of now, though.
To earn any of these CCNA specialist certifications, you must earn your CCNA first, by either the one-exam (640-802) path or the two exam path (ICND 1 and 2).
This announcement by Cisco makes it more important than ever to be CCNA certified. Be ready to earn these new certifications by earning your CCNA now!
Just imagine how impressive your resume and reputation will be when you're CCNA certified and certified in security, voice, and wireless!
Personally, I'd hire you in a minute, and I've always been tough about who I hire. And if you already worked for me, you'd get the next promotion.
Get ready for these new certifications by starting on your CCNA now. Take five minutes to read this page - it's more important than ever.
The Ultimate CCNA Study Package
Starting this September, I'll be releasing Study Packages for CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, and CCNA Wireless. While I'm working on those, you need to be working on your CCNA to take advantage of these vital new certifications.
