Hi, I will be doing one of the above certifications this year (on a 2 week training camp) which I am funding myself, I have a ccna which i achieved through self study a year ago. I work as a telecomms/ip engineer. Which one in peoples opinion is more in job demand? (in the london area). I thought that the ccnp will give a better network grounding than the other, but I have seen lots of jobs advertising for security. Any opinions welcome.
ccnp or ccsp

Get the CCNP first to get you a good Network grounding, the move to security (or VOIP) where the money and good jobs are. You will not do to good in either if you dont have a CCNP level of understanding. Hope that helps, Jason

I agree. CCNP is the way to go. The move onto the other professional certs. SP is good if that's your thing. VPs are writing their own checks these days. Personally I'm going the IP route first and then seeing what happens.
