Certifications Goals for 2015

The days are getting shorter. Nights a little colder. What better time to plan out next years goals.

2015 Goals: MCSA 2012 (417 upgrade) MCSE Server Infrastructure , MCSE Private Cloud, Server Virtualization with Hyper V and System Center, CCNP (tshoot-switch) Conditionals Possibly VCA and VCP... if I am not getting burned out towards end of next year. If I need a break these will wait....

Updated goals:

Got the CCNA earlier than expected, so now my goals have shifted to CCNP. A lofty goal for end of year, but I think possible.

Congratulations! Thats motivation for the rest of us.

I'd love to do OSCP but doesn't look it'll be possible this year. Just no time for the hardcore studying/labbing that it requires

RHCSA

edit: realized the title said "Certification goals".

Certification goal for 2015 achieved. I'm going to start studying for my 2016 certification goal: RHCE.

The GPEN is now done and I'm getting ready to prepare for the CCNA:S. I've had an opportunity to use Python on the job, and I'm hoping to get more opportunities going forward. Not a bad start for the year

Well, obviously my plans have changed. I haven't been able to get excited about the CCNA:S. I don't use Cisco on the job, so I've already begun becoming rusty on the CLI. Not sure if I'll try to renew the CCNA or not. Maybe the CCDA??? Not sure...

With any luck I'll be able to knock out the eCPPT before the end of the year.

MrAgent

Have you considered the OSCP? I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem having the GPEN.

veritas_libertas

@Mr. Agent: That's certainly on my radar. I really wanted to renew my CCNA, but it may lose out to the OSCP next year.

Passed the VCP 6 Delta (2V0-621D) this morning! Not going to take the Citrix cert I mentioned. I've done enough this year.

All of 2016 - study for CCIE R&S - January 2017 I'll take the CCIE lab.

Managed to hit my target for 2015! Completed MCSA Windows server 2012 R2...
Started off knowing very little about windows server as I had not really used it before, being on first line support for about 4 years and 2nd line for about 6 months, so I found it pretty difficult. Hoping to complete MCSE messaging in 2016, hopefully in the first half of the year if I'm lucky. Then maybe upgrade my MCSA to server 2016 however they decide to structure the exams, if I don't get around to it I will do it at the start of 2017 and then hopefully upgrade to Exchange 2016 as well by the end of 2017!
Being on 2nd line now I am thinking I will find the exams slightly easier as I get more experience.
