Foundry Networks Certified Network Engineer (FNCNE)
The FNCP awards the designation of the Foundry Networks Certified Network Engineer (FNCNE). This is achieved through completion of an online exam comprised of IP networking technology and in-depth knowledge of Brocade products. Beginning in January of 2006, there will be two methods to earn the FNCNE. A single exam method (FNO-125 consisting of 100 questions) and a two exam method (FNO-103 consisting of 75 questions and FNC-202 consisting of 90 questions). The exam questions are very challenging and prior "hands on" experience is essential. The Brocade testing partner, Prometric, provides fast and simple online registration. You can register for the exam 24 hours a day worldwide.
