Novell vs. M$ certs

| Developwebsites 2002-09-11, 1:29 pm |
| I am currently taking a course in Novell 5.0 at
NYCTC. Anyone familiar with it?
I'd like to be Network+ and A+ certified. I'd like to
know if the test asks Novell or M$ questions. Is there
a difference between a Novell and a Microsoft network?
Also, how do Novell certificates stack up against MCSE
or Network+?

Depends on what your job requirements are... I dont see a good reason
why anyone should take any Netware courses if they are a 100% MS shop.
However, point made, the A+ and N+ exams ask questions about Netware
any version... not just v5.0 but also the exams ask questions for
Linux as well. Yes, of course there is a big difference between a
Netware and M$ network... with the minor exception that they both will
give you good results for creating a LAN and/or a WAN... and lastly,
think of your MCSE as graduating from a four year college... and
MCSA/CNE as graduating from a two year college... and A+/N+ are just
stepping stones to meeting those graduation requirements and being in
high school.
But also a BS/AS are very important too.

| IMHO...I think that if you are multiplatformed you increase your chances of
getting a job. I would go for the A+, NET+, your MCSA, CNA, Server+ Then
get your MCSE and to you CNE. After that I would go for your CCNA and your
Security certs.
Novell Certified Engineers are seemingly to be a few and far between but
Novell still holds strong and is a wonderful platform to learn. Plus if
your are a CNE and MCSE you can work in a company that supports both and
amaze them with you knowledge of both platforms.
Its all in what you and your company has and needs. I work in an
environment where there are 2 of us. I work more on Microsoft side of
things and the other guy works more on Netware side of things. We keep a
tight ship running. We are both working on getting CNE and MCSE.
If I were you and you want to look into novell...id wait till the Netware 6
test comes out and take that.
