| Is it worth taking I-net if you've got CCNA? | |
| wildscribe 2002-02-27, 10:17 am |
| It all depends on the type of job you either already have or are looking for. I-Net+ is an entry level cert designed for folks interested in knowing about the Internet. You might want to check out the I-Net+ study guide at www.cramsession.com to get a better idea of what it is all about.
I see that you are working on CCNA. Your time might be better spent studying for the CCNA, and after you pass the CCNA go for the CCNP (Where I live, a CCNA won't get you a job, but CCNP will!). And if you really want to get another CompTIA cert, you could consider Network+.
Good Luck!

| The INet+ is geared more towards web development I think, atleast it was when I took it. The N+ is closer to the CCNA than INet+.
Well, I guess it depends. The INet+ never expires. If you have an employer who is paying for it, take it. Otherwise I'd skip it. | |

| I'd start on the CCNP. I-Net+ is way lower on the certification list than CCNA | |

The INet+ certification is a VENDOR-NEUTRAL certification that is sponsored by COMPTia. If you have your CCNA, you will be wasting your time with Inet+. | |

I agree unless your intent is to not do CCNP or something else similar.
If you are looking at CCNP then an Inet+ will just rob time from a more important endeavor.
Here is how I rank the importance of a few certs from most important to least.
CCIE
MCSD
CCNP
MCSE
CCNA
Master CIW
MCSA ?not sure yet here
MCP
A+
CIW
Network+
Linux+
Server+
Inet+
Am I way off base here?
some like an A+ and MCP might be a tie.?.?
PS: this list is totally subjective. | |

| MCSE above CCNA? do MS Certs still hold any credibility? I haven't heard anyone talking about MS Certs in these forums anymore.. I haven't gone into the MCSE forum, but just the general ones, and when people are talking about certification in general I never seem to hear MS come up anymore. Just wondering, I had planed on getting my MCSE, but the last couple months I relized it sorta droped off my list of certifications I was planing on getting, weird. | |

| If you have a couple years or more in the field then MCSE is a good choice.
CCNA while difficult is still an entry level cert.
Microsoft has gained much credibility in the since bringing in the windows 2000 MCSE.
None of the tests are easy and a couple rival the CCNP exams in difficulty.
I have seen more companies list a "current MCSE, emphesis on current" than a CCNA on there job listings.
Plus 7 tests compared to 1, that is a real investment.
Just My opinion 
Hey everyone put up there own list. I want to see if I`m way off base, also I would put Oracle and MCDBA up toward the top also. | |

| In school I was always told that cisco is way better then the big ms. Now that I am ccna I think the mcse is better. One good point is that it is 7 certs to one. Now it seems like a no brainer. i am not going to seek cisco certs anymore. I am going inot programming as this seems to be much more difficult. More difficult more money right. Well lets at least hope so. I also think the certs that are good are the entry level ones. Who wants a oracle db with no experinc etouching there million dollar network? Some with an a+ can do helpdesk or something though without causing to much damage. | |

| can anyone verify what he's saying? from what I've seen programmers make less than network professionals and have a more difficult job. | |

I think programers make more money out of the gate "although harder to find work in now"
But networking/systems people will make more after a couple of years expierience, in my opinion.
As to how difficult it is that entirely depends on the job and the work ethic. |
