Ok, I know standard net certs Cisco (all of them), Net+, Novell, and Microsoft ect... I am interested in seeing reviews on Network media certs. Such as copper, fiber, I Red, Microwave ect...
Is there a site that gives honest reviews about these certs and cert programs?

As for as cabling and the like the industry recoginzed certification is RCDD - Registered Communication Distribution Design. It typically though of as a telecom specialty, but telecom is the general industry when it came to telephone wiring so naturally they've become the body governing data wiring. They therefor are the recognized experts on LAN and Outside Plant (OSP) design on wiring.
BICSI - Building Industry Consulting Service International is the ruling body (Like Cisco is to CCNA and CCIE).
There are a bunch of sites including exam support sites. You can get a lot of info if you do a Google (www.google.com) search on "RCDD certification".
