Title: Foundation Courses !!!

First, FRS is not a course, it's just an exam, it's a replacement for 3 exams "BSCN", "BCRAN" & "BCMSN". In all cases, you need the "Troubleshooting" exam to attain the CCNP (in addition to CCNA, of course) Advantage for taking FRS is $$ savings, as it costs $200 instead of 3 * $100 for individual exams. Disadvantage is that the distinct areas in the FRS do not add up together, which means if you performed very well in 2 areas and flunked the third, you still have to go through the 3 of them!! I believe that's the main reason why people prefer individual exams. "Raees Ahmed Shaikh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Dear All,    Just a question to ask, What is the foundation R S course for CCNP, What does it consists of, how is it a replacement for two-three ccnp exams and the availability in Prometric centres, also would like to know did anybody of you got his ccnp taking this foundation courses instead of the regular path, I heard that only one exam is needed in addition to FRS to achieve CCNP. Pls. throw some light on this undiscussed FRS.
