Re: Advice on 2nd Cert

I've re-certed on SP twice, you are correct...it's essentially R/S with some
MPLS and other junk thrown in. I didnt find the written terribly hard and

Personally I abandoned the SP track and have thrown myself into Voice, I
found more of a market for it.

good Luck whichever way you may chose.
