What to approach next?

Kuroki

So what certification should I approach next? I'm currently aiming towards working in Network Engineering/Security/Service Provider

Based on this what certifications would you recommend I go for? I already have CCNA R&S/Security?


I don't currently have any CompTIA qualifications, nor do I have interest in approaching them, they don't hold as much value in the UK.

If you stop at CCNA, go for some Microsoft certifications, if not go for CCNP/CCIE!

Thanks! I was considering going for those next, perhaps I can get my CCNP before the end of my second year then be set for my industry year when I go on to my Masters degree!!

I have been considering the MCSA Windows Server, but I heard they're pretty nasty when it comes to exams?

I like your plan.

Keep a laser focus on your networking aspirations. Love the CCNP followed up by the Masters Degree.

Pretty much complete after that and ready to conquer the world. Good luck!

I would recommend that you find out what the network engineering/security/service provider job roles are like in your area.

Network Engineer Jobs, vacancies in England | Indeed.co.uk

Network Security Engineer Jobs, vacancies in England | Indeed.co.uk

Telecommunications Engineer Jobs, vacancies in England | Indeed.co.uk

You may find a meetup you're interested in, if you use the terms "Internet" or "information technology" on your query for groups in your area. The terms "network" and "security" are a bit too broad.

Find your people - Meetup

Also, some forum members are from that region, they may have some insight for you.

Hope this helps!
