CertCities.com | Print Feature Article: CertCities.com�s Quick Guide to Novell Certifications: "Certified Novell Administrator (CNA)
The simplest certification in the Novell fold is CNA. At one point in time, this was an acronym for Certified NetWare Administrator, but is now for Certified Novell Administrator. In order to obtain this certification, you must pass one, entry-level, exam; there are three options:
NetWare 5.1 Administration (050-653)
Foundations of Novell Networking (050-677)
Foundations of Novell Networking: NetWare 6.5 (050-686)
The first exam is essentially unchanged in the past four years, and is only recommended for those who are replacing retiring administrators of existing NetWare 5.1 networks. While there is value in setting out now to become a master of this NOS, it is akin to setting out now to become an expert in MS DOS 5: There just isn�t that much demand for it.
The second option, Foundations of Novell Networking, focuses on networking from the standpoint of NetWare 6. There is much more of an emphasis placed on open protocols and solutions, instead of seeking proprietary answers.
The third option has only recently become available and it updates the Foundations exam to focus on NetWare 6.5. (Look for a review of this exam coming soon to this site)."
