CMNA - CMSS Certifications - Who's studying for them?

Good evening all, how we all doing?

 

Would appreciate the communities feedback on a couple of queries:

 

 - Firstly, how many of you are studying for the above Certifications and why?  CMNA seemed to be focused on the Meraki Partner community and CMNO for the end user, that still the case?

 

 - For CMSS how many are simply ploughing through the Meraki online documentation or are you also building home/work labs to learn from?

 

Thanks in advance.

CMNO is on my list of things to do.

@BlakeRichardson So the CMNO course was actually ended, but ECMS1 is meant to be its replacement!

@MeredithW  I did wonder that, I thought it didn't sound right but didn't have time to check 😂

That’s my focus @MeredithW , the ECMS lab supplement when bundled is a fair few bucks. 

Are candidates pulling these labs together or relying solely on reading and past experience?

For me it was a combination of all the above:

- Very much reading in the documentation

- Labbing things I did not remember

- more reading on things I can not do in Labs (for example active-active DC, I have not enough equipment for that).
