I think Networker Specialist exam is not available anymore (can't find it on EMC's Education website and in the Prometric too). You have to go after "E20-097: EMC Technology Foundations - Backup and Recovery Exam", and then you can take a specialist test (3 or 4 paths availables for specialist)

LCNS Legato CErtified Networker Specialist is nto available now. You need to go for the BuRA exams selecting your track. Chekc EMC Education on powerlink.

You asked about NW specialist so we responded accordingly. There is no restriction to do Foundation first before Specialist. Powerlink hs Certifications Tab in Education that details each Syllabus and suggested readings. In most cases, you need to buy the Web training, Video ILT or attend their class else you check the syllabus...learn by experienece and then check your knowledge on Powerlink's samples.

OK Thanks for the Information , Personally i want to know that whether this Networker Filed is really good (Means there is an good scope for the Netwokrer or not ) , i asked why because hopefully u r in this field i belive .

I know LCNS is not available , There is a paper E20-597 , The syllabus has been updated in Jan 21 , i belive , i am asking for that there is any link , They have added Avamar as a new curriculum , I want to know whether can we write the Specialist like E20-597 directly or we need to complete the Foundation and then only specialist .

Yes, it is a good field and NW people are in demand. It is good to start with in this industry but as you move ahead gradually, I would suggest adding more technologies to your profile. It is perhaps for this reason that even EMC has discontinued NW specific exams and added some basic backup concepts & products like Avamar etc so that the candidate has more knowledge about the bakcup streams and other products and is not restricted to Networker.

Thanks for your usefull information , as you said some more technologies to be added in the profile , is it like i need to add the AVAMAR or the thrd party backup technologies or the storage technology .Rite now i am working in Networker and in SGI storage and in Linux . I want to know whether this is ok or need to add other technologies also . Hopefully i am distrubing you i guess , sorry for the inconvenince .

Is this true? I saw once that you had to pass the Foundation before taking the Specialist. You could do either Backup and Recovery Foundation or EMC Technology Foundations (this one could be used as the Foundation exam for any education path).

I could not find this anymore on the Education website, but has really this changed?

I never saw any such restriction mentioned on the Education web site. I did my specialists before I decided finally to go for STF.

Thanks for the Inforamtion , Seriously i am plannng to do the specialist exam , anyhow first i will complete the E20-097 (foundation of Backup and Recovery) . I heard like the syllabus has been changed is it true .
