Recommended experience:
The CWNA certification is a foundational level wireless LAN certification for the CWNP program, however, we recommend that students have 1 year of experience in wireless networking, prior to attending class.
You need to have a basic understanding of wireless networking.
For example (a quote from CWNP's website): "Do you have an understanding of the fundamentals of wireless technology? Do you know how WLAN works and how its managed day-to-day? Do you have the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot and maintain wireless networks within small business or Enterprise deployments?"

Exam Information:
Current exam CWNA-107
To earn a CWNA certification, you must take the CWNA exam at a Pearson Vue Testing Center and pass with a 70% or higher.

Advisory:
To be awarded "Professional Level" certifications, CWNP requires that the candidate possess a valid/current CWNA certification.
CWNP does not object to students attending CWSP, CWDP, or CWAP training classes, or to sitting the associated exams. It will, however, not confer the associated Professional-level certification until a valid CWNA certification is held by the candidate.
The knowledge required to sit a CWNA exam can be obtained by attending a training class, or from self-study.
===
To recertify, pass one of the professional level certifications exams (CWSP, CWDP, CWAP) *before* your CWNA certification expires. By doing so, the CWNA will be renewed for another 3 years... or you can retake the current version of the CWNA exam.
