I found a local tech school that offers a 2 year program in Information Technology/Computer Systems. After reviewing the course description it states that students will complete the Nortel Net Knowledge and/or Cisco Networking Academy training programs. It also notes that students desiring further certifications can take the Nortel Networks Certified Specialist or Expert Test, and/or instruction leading to the CISCO Certified Network Associate.
Does this sound like a good program? Don’t most employers want someone with a 4 year degree? Will I be able to get a good job off this program? Should I also try for the MCSE cert? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I suggest u to take ccna.
CCNA is the junior technician certificate authorized by Cisco, which is the world’s largest networking equipment company. CCNA is the basic of Cisco certification system. Everybody can take CCNA. No condition is limited. Of course, if you have some interest in the network,and know some about it, it is better.
If you take CCNA, what can you get from it?
You can get a job in network management and implementation ,or in optimize network performance. So you can become a network administrator or a systems integration engineer,and you can become a sales, too
If you decide to take CCNA, how can you do it?
There are two ways that you can go.
One is 640-802. It contains Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2.（640-802 Exam: Cisco Certified Network Associate）
The other is 640-821 INTRO and 640-816 ICND2. 640-821 INTRO is Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1. And 640-816 ICND2 is Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2.
Now , you have known what you need to do. I think maybe you need some help at this time. You can visit killtest, and get some help from the live support.
We also provide some free demo for you to download. Of course .the others are charged.
But killtest have a low price and high quality.
I dont think CCNA should not take 2 years to complete, as far I know it takes about 2 weeks to get trained on CCNA.
You should also consider MCSE, which will teach you server administration besides device configuration. The MCSE training lasts over a month, with full day learning that is.
MCSE will also teach you to plan for enterprise networks which include various servers like DNS, DHCP, VPN, Firewalls and much more.
