FYI...

they have updated the CWNA exam (PW0-106) and will retire the current (PW0-105) on July 1, 2014 with the biggest changes coming in adding key elements of 802.11ac standard (Transmit Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and VHT).

I don't plan on taking the updated CWNA (just passed CWAP so it renewed the CWNA), but I can definitely contribute to the discussion.

Yep Yep, We will update this page when 106 comes out. Awesome job passing CWAP!!!

@pmonardo , would you like to write on a topic? 

[pmonardo]

Would love to but have to figure out which topic first.

Hi All. Just got an email to join your page via the CWNP organization; so I did. I'm studying for my CWNA as we speak. Unfortunately I didn't pass my first time around. I think I rushed into the test the fist time after reading the book and thinking it would be as easy as the CWTS. I'm now re-reading the book and paying extra close attention to the content and planning to take it again before July 1st. So I plan to be checking out this page regularly. 

[Srynearson]

Awesome Mike! Glad to have you. I also had to take the CWNA twice back in 2009 or so. The books and certifications changed my life.

[Srynearson]

Practice questions are now avaliable!
