Cisco Exams (and networking exams in general)
of varying degrees of complexity, right up to CCIE level - and invariably by Chapter 5 I develop an attitude of "bollocks to this". That usually coincides with feeling like I'm reading some sort of indoctrination piece and realising the effort spent is only valid for three years. So, essentially, you're paying for materials and time just to try and secure work on one vendor solution. That finishes me off every time. The only analogy I can come up with is having to sit a driving test for every different type of car you'd ever drive. Driving a van today sir? You'll have to sit the TCDA (Transit Certified Driving Associate) exam. New car sir? Ohh, a Honda. Now you need to sit a HCDA.

I know there's major differences between vendor implementation before anyone starts, ta.

Fair play to you if you've secured work as a result of your time and effort - I commend your patience and diligence, and wish you only the best. Also, if it's a condition of your continued employment? Fine. I just cannot be fucking arsed.
