  2. NUMBER OF QUESTIONS: 60 multiple-choice / multiple-answer items

  3. DURATION: 90 minutes

  4. PASSING SCORE: 70% or higher

  5. VALIDITY: 3 years; recertify by passing CWNA again or a professional-level CWNP credential before expiration

  6. PREREQUISITES: None formally required; recommended to have basic networking and wireless LAN understanding, plus 1 year of WLAN experience

EXAM DOMAINS & WEIGHTS

Main domains include (with approximate weighting):

  1. Radio Frequency (RF) Technologies – 15%

  2. WLAN Regulations & Standards – 20%

  3. WLAN Protocols & Devices – 20%

  5. SECURITY – Encryption methods (WPA2/WPA3), authentication, intrusion detection/prevention

  6. VALIDATION & REMEDIATION – RF interference analysis, heat mapping, troubleshooting tools

PREPARATION STRATEGY

  1. Review all exam objectives and create a structured study plan

  2. Understand RF principles through visualization or simulation

  3. Learn Wi-Fi standards, regulatory domains, and typical deployments

  4. Practice WLAN design and site survey scenarios

  5. Configure and secure WLAN devices using real or simulated labs

  6. Drill on security mechanisms including encryption, authentication, and policy enforcement

  7. Practice remediation for RF and performance issues using simulation tools

PRACTICE NOTES & TESTS

  1. Domain-specific study notes summarizing each area

  2. Flashcards for RF terms, encryption types, protocol names, and standards

  3. Practice tests: 200+ questions aligned to CWNA-109 exam plan, including multiple choice, true/false, and drag-and-drop

  4. Mock exam simulations timed to emulate exam conditions

  5. Detailed answer explanations for conceptual understanding

  6. Interactive labs or simulated drills for RF validation, WLAN design, and troubleshooting

  7. Domain glossaries and summary sheets for quick revision

CERTIFICATION PATHWAY

After CWNA, candidates may pursue professional-level CWNP certifications such as:

  1. Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP)

  2. Certified Wireless Design Professional (CWDP)

  3. Certified Wireless Analysis Professional (CWAP)

These can also serve to renew CWNA credential before expiration

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

CWNA certification is particularly valued for roles like:

  1. Wireless Network Engineer

  2. WLAN Infrastructure Specialist

  3. Network Deployment Technician

  4. IT Support Technician with WLAN focus

  5. Entry-level enterprise wireless administrator

It demonstrates expertise in WLAN fundamentals and design that employers seek for Wi-Fi infrastructure roles

CONCLUSION

The CWNA-109 certification provides a solid foundation in wireless LAN administration and design. Built around RF, architecture, security, and remediation, it prepares candidates for real-world WLAN management. Strategic preparation combining study notes, simulations, and timed mock tests ensures both confidence and readiness. Achieving CWNA opens routes to advanced wireless certifications and enterprise networking roles.
