But this isn’t your normal giveaway! It’s a giveaway with a twist! That’s right, what fun is there in just giving away free stuff! There are strings attached to this puppy!! The lucky candidates will not be picked out of a hat or some random way. They will be selected! (more on that in a bit)
GUIDES SPONSORED BY CWNP.COM
The 3 CWNP Study Guides are sponsored by CWNP (THANKS GUYS!). We need to make sure these fall into the right hands, as I’m sure you would agree! In addition I will pony up the $100 kick back if you pass your exam (details below)!
With that being said, I am looking for (3) folks that are committed and I MEAN COMMITTED with ALL CAPS!. No “want to be” CWNAs, CWSPs, no CHEATERS (testking, pass4sure folks need apply!), no folks who lose interest after Chapter 2 either! I want 3 very hungry and passionate engineers who don’t understand the word quit and look at failure as a means of hitting the books harder to understand the concepts at hand!
The CWNP exams sets the stage for the fundamentals which will be used for a lifetime. I personally sat both the CWNA and the Cisco CCIE Wireless Written. I found the CWNA to be more difficult then the IE written! That’s not a type O… I’ve heard this statement from other peers who have sat both as well! It isn’t an easy test!
The professionals at CWNP - Marcus, Kevin, Keith, Devin, GT, Compughter, myself and other contributors are always on hand to answer your questions. We believe in your success!
WHY THE GIVEAWAY
The question has been asked, why the giveaway. It’s simple. For those who know me personally and professionally, I enjoy sharing knowledge and collaboration at all levels of wireless. I have a passion for 802.11. Over the years I’ve been blessed to work with some of the best RF engineers you will find in today’s enterprise. I was recently blessed with an opportunity which has been a life long goal , an achievement of sorts. I know karma is a <S.O.B> too (LOL)! I want to give back and keep the karma ball rolling! And what better way!
HOW TO APPLY AND STRINGS ATTACHED:
As I mentioned earlier, there are stings attached to this giveaway. Here is the how to apply and requirements. If you can’t meet these requirements for ANY reason please, I ask that you not apply. Only so that one of your peers may take advantage of this opportunity! If this is a success and we grow a few CWNA or CWSPs out of this giveaway we may just do this again!
Strings Attached:
In an effort to help others in their CWNP studies you will be given a personal blog that be hosted at www.my80211.com and be linked to www.cwnp.com ‘s worldwide RSS feeds, which includes FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, CWNP.COM,TWITTER among others (thousands worldwide)… When I said thousands worldwide, I mean thousands worldwide! You will be the envy of your peers, co-works and friends, I’m sure! No pressure right!
Your personal blog will be a requirement. We want to hear about your daily, weekly studies. Your ramblings (of course respect the RSS feed and no spamming ) . Any labs, packet captures, your study habits, gear that you are working on etc … You get the idea? We want to follow you in your journey to become a CWNP professional!
(Disclaimer: Any jokesters or unprofessional conducted or spamming over the RRS feed gets you kicked ASAP, no questions asked as these feeds are LIVE and broadcasted)
I would ask that your study efforts be such that you prepare yourself to sit the exam in 6 months from the time you get your kit. The cost of the exam is on you. But IF you pass in the 6 month window (and you didn’t cheat – testking, pass4sure etc .. I will have Kevin and Marcus check ), and you contribute to your blog as required I will reimburse you $100 of your exam when you pass! Doesn’t matter if you take it 5 times, if by the end of the 6 months you pass you will have earned your $100 kick back. If you don’t contribute to the blog, drop off the face of the earth and then pop up with a pass you will be hard pressed to get my $100! Capish!?
Oh and btw, this isn’t just for CWNA applicants. If you passed your CWNA and you plan to study for the CWSP this applies to you too! How could I forget you guys! Your blog will be of course, CWSP or Bust!
How to APPLY:
Candidates will be selected and not picked at random. If you are interested , you should submit the following information to cwna.or.bust@wirelesssguru.net (note there are three sss’s).

I want to give a massive thanks out to George, the folks at CWNP, along with my wife and children. This is something I am really looking forward to. Wireless effects us every day and it is only going to be come more prevalent and more relevant in our daily lives. There is a lot of excitement over this and in the back of my mind I know there is a lot of hard work ahead, reading, committing topics to memory and ensuring that I understand and know the fundamentals.
Thanks everyone,
JC.Bogard
* An edit, while being mulled by my children - somehow the name Steve was used... instead of George. Apologies
