Novell Networking Technologies Exam
Novell Networking Technologies exam (050-632) is a part of the Novell CNE (Certified Networking Engineer) certificate for Novell Netware 5. It covers a wide range of topics that are essential for each and every network engineer or perhaps administrator for Novell, as well as non-Novell networks.
This exam is aimed to cover the following topics:

When you go through the list above, the first thing that comes to your mind is Network+. That is right. These topics are very much similar to what Network+ covers. And the fact that Novell would accept Network+ instead of this exam for CNE requirements only assures this idea.
One problem in Novell’s 050-632 [http://www.novell.com/training/testinfo/objectives/565tobj.html] exam is the lack of self-study guides. CramSession [http://www.cramsession.com/certifications/exams/networking-technologies.asp?exam_id=200] offers free exam study guide but its not adequate. It does not cover the whole thing. So, if you are thinking of this exam you might consider taking the course. O perhaps you can read Network+ study-guides and go for Novell’s exam.
You might ask why bother going this road when I can do the Network+ exam which is more popular. I might just have the answer for you. It’s the cost. Novell’s 050-632 exam is about half the price of CompTia’s Network+ !!!
I have always thought of CompTia’s exams as expensive. And I do not believe that making the exams more expensive would increase its value.
