| Good Day People
I've got a serious question and hope some could possibly please help on this. I am on my way to start training, but still do not know whether I am doing the right thing. The training I am about to do is a combined package, involves more practical than normal course attendance and is quite expensive. So I do not want to go wrong. Okay this is what it consists of:
CompTIA A+
CompTIA N+
Microsoft MCSA with Exchange
Cisco CCNA
Novell CLP (Certified Linux Professional)
CompTIA Project+ Intermediate
Microsoft Project Advanced Training
This goes through till the end of the year. Another thing is someone told me it is important when finished to decide on one thing to specialize in??
As I only start towards the end of March, what other essential IT certification can i do?
Thanks in advance!
Have a good one! | |

| Well that seems to be a well rounded list of things to do.
I would suggest that you get as much handson experience with them as you can, and when you have, you can then look at where your interest or ability lies, and then if you want specialise in that area.
One of the big things now is security. | |

| There is a lot of thing you want to do, but are you able to achieve them one by one..
Good Luck | |

| Hmm...would agree that the list is fairly well-rounded. What you end up specializing in is a matter of interests which is one of the things I enjoy IT. There are lots of things you can choose to do. You can get into network architecting and realize its just not your thing.
You might consider learning about a scripting language which may help you automate systems administration depending on your environment. Bash, WSH, Perl.
If you're still interested in notching certifications, consider CompTIA's Security+ or CWNA. In anycase, good luck. | |

| Never forget the old work experiance, if you can work while studying, you will go far.
Once you have about 1000 Windows Re-installations under ur belt and can do it in ur sleep, you will be well on ur way :-).
Good luck, and welcome to the LOL sintilating world of IT :-). |
