excerpt:
Why offer two different exam paths for CCDP or CCNP
(that is, Foundation Exam alone versus the Routing, Switching, and Remote Access
exams)?
The material covered in the three individual exams versus the one Foundation exam is the same. It is a personal testing choice in providing an alternative to those individuals proficient in all technical areas. It allows a candidate to take one Foundation exam versus three single exams. A single exam in US/CAN costs $100US for a total of $300US. Foundation exam is $200US with a savings of $100. Internationally, a single exam costs $150US for a total of $450US while a Foundation exam is $300US with a savings of $150US. The single exam paths consist of individual exams mapped to individual courses. The Foundation Exam Path consists of 3 courses mapping to one exam. A possible drawback to taking a Foundation exam is if you fail one of the three primary areas you fail the entire exam. [emphasis added]

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,
