The CCNA is the usual starting point for all training in Cisco. With it, you'll learn how to handle maintaining and installing routers and network switches. Basically, the internet comprises of vast numbers of routers, and many large organisations who have various regional departments rely on them to keep their networks in touch.
Achieving this qualification means you'll probably end up working for large companies who have many locations, but still need contact. Alternatively, you may find yourself employed by an internet service provider. These jobs are well paid and in demand.
The appropriate skill-set and comprehension before starting your Cisco CCNA course skills is very important. So talk to someone who can tell you what else you need to know.
It's essential to have authorised exam simulation and preparation programs as part of your training package.
Avoid relying on non-official exam papers and questions. Their phraseology is sometimes startlingly different - and sometimes this can be a real headache when it comes to taking the real exam.
Obviously, it's essential to know that you've thoroughly prepared for the real exam prior to doing it. Revising mock-up tests logs the information in your brain and saves you time and money on failed exams.
How can job security honestly exist anywhere now? In a marketplace like the UK, where business constantly changes its mind whenever it suits, it seems increasingly unlikely.
Security can now only exist via a fast rising marketplace, driven forward by a shortfall of trained staff. It's this alone that creates just the right conditions for a secure market - a more attractive situation all round.
The 2006 British e-Skills analysis highlighted that over 26 percent of computing and IT jobs are unfilled due to a huge deficit of well-trained staff. To put it another way, this means that the UK only has three properly accredited workers for each 4 positions that are available now.
This one concept on its own shows why the United Kingdom needs a lot more people to enter the IT sector.
It's unlikely if a better time or market conditions could exist for getting certified in this quickly expanding and developing business.
One of the most important things to insist on has to be 24x7 round-the-clock support from professional mentors and instructors. So many companies we come across only provide office hours (or extended office hours) support.
You'll be waiting ages for an answer with email based support, and phone support is often to a call-centre who will just take down the issue and email it over to their technical team - who will call back over the next day or so (assuming you're there), at a suitable time to them. This is no good if you're sitting there confused over an issue and have a one hour time-slot in which to study.
We recommend looking for training programs that use several support centres from around the world. All of them should be combined to enable simple one-stop access together with 24 hours-a-day access, when it's convenient for you, with the minimum of hassle.
If you accept anything less than 24x7 support, you'll regret it. You may avoid using the support throughout the night, but you're bound to use weekends, early mornings or late evenings.
Most people don't even think to ask about something of absolutely vital importance - the way the company segments the courseware sections, and into how many parts.
Students often think it makes sense (with a typical time scale of 1-3 years to pass all the required exams,) that a training provider will issue one module at a time, as you achieve each exam pass. But:
What would their reaction be if you find it difficult to do each and every exam at the required speed? Sometimes their preference of study order won't fit you as well as some other structure would for you.
Ideally, you'd ask for every single material to be delivered immediately - meaning you'll have all of them to return to any point - whenever it suits you. You can also vary the order in which you move through the program as and when something more intuitive seems right for you.
