IT Certification? CCNA/CCSA

[Galaril]

I have just moved back to the US for overseas with the "fam" and am going through the interview process for a new job in IT/information security. I have gotten alot of call backs on my resume and am in fact waiting to heer about three seperate jobs at MIT's Lincoln Lab here in Boston. Anyways I am looking to update or expand my skill base with either a checkpoint (CCSA) or Cisco cert(CCNA). I am pretty close to testing and am looking to here from anyone who has either particularly one of the checkpoint certifications like CCSA. I was wondering how much it cost to take any of these exams most of the vendors or education partners don't give the information without registering. Thanks. Coffee Warlord?

I'm no help, just another question. I've taken a couple CCNA classes, but what exactly is the CCSA?

CCNA is Cisco and CCSA refers to the Checkpoint certified security associate certifcation. It is basically dealing with Checkpoint-1/VPN-1 firewalls.
