| I THINK TO BE COME A NETWORK DESIGNER, IT WILL BE VERY GOOD
TODO A COMPLETE MCSE 2000.
I D ONT THINK THAT A+WILL GIVE THE APPROPRIATE SKILL TO JUMP TO CCNA. | |

| WHY ARE YOU YELLING? The CCNA is not a hard test, it is a good entry level test. It is perfectly feasible for someone with no experience to read a book and pass the test. While having an MCSE certainly can't hurt, there is no reason to feel the need to complete that before writing the CCNA if you don't want to. Having an A+ isn't necessary before writing the CCNA as well although I strongly believe in getting an A+ certification before any other certifications because if you run into a hardware problem in the field (ie: bad NIC)it's good to know that you have the skills to take care of it yourself. For some reason some people seem to think that the CCNA is an advanced goal and in reality it isn't that hard; of course, like any certification, without experience it can be tough to find work. | |

| The largest hurdle to jump on the CCNA is to understand the basics of networks and how they operate. Past that, everything is Cisco, routing, and switching which you can get from a book.
Just remeber that Cisco and Microsoft don't see eye to eye on a lot of things so you need to take it at face value that what is said in the book is what you will need to know to pass the test, even if it doesn't make pratical sense.
That was my hardes hurdle to overcome. Separating my regular troubleshooting techniques and knowledge from what the book was saying about networks. Overall, it is pretty close but it is confined to the scope of the exam and the topics discussed.
Good luck in whatever you do. |
