If you are a fresher's and seeking IT job, don't wait! just take valid certification training of CCNA to get a good job in a IT firm.

CCNP is still on my list for 2016, though I have taken a break from Cisco. Currently hoping to knock out the JNCIA in January, then probably back to the Cisco track.

Qord

Meh....I'm not good with reaching publicly stated goals, even if they are SMART. But, since everyone else is doing it...

MCSA 2012
Linux+

If timing works out (and work pays )
ACMA or CWNA
CTT+

phdillard

I need to finish the second half of my CCNA then I'm looking at
Server+ or a VMware cert
Linux+/LPI
and at some point I need to get back to school to finish my bachelors

Hi guys

due to landing a new job on Christmas eve, I am switching focus and will be looking at 1 or 2 varieties of MCSD (probably Web Apps and SharePoint) and also Zend PHP

Good luck with your studies in the coming year

Happy New Year

Completed my 2015 goal:
1. CISM
2. Mobility+
3. SABSA Foundation

2016 will be dedicated to:
1. CCSK (It will help as moral booster, easy and first cert of 2016 and will help in prep of CCSP as well)
2. CCSP (was waiting for it, really excited about this cert)
3. SABSA Practitioner (Risk and Assurance)

4. CISSP- maybe, I dont see much value in CISSP and since I now have CISM its an overlap, its still the most famous infosec cert though, magnet for recruiters.
Job listings usually mention "CISSP/CISM" unless its a network security job role which wont mention CISM or its a IT Security Manager kinda role which might omit CISSP.

I have 10+ years of Infosec experience. I learned a lot after reading CISM manual. I have skimmed through CISSP material and its seems like there is no depth in any domain. Might just read Conrad's 11th Hour book and sit for exam...

CRISC for me. Don't know beyond that.

CCNA Routing & Switching

Dieg0M

My goal for 2016 is to update my...uh...dusty MS and Cisco certs

MCSA (Server 2012 r2): 3/31/2016
MCSE (Server 2012 r2): 5/31/2016
CCNA: 7/31/2016
CCNP: 12/31/2016

That's the plan...here we go!

I've got to finish up my MSISA from WGU at some point this year so there's that. Next will be another Cisco cert to renew my CCNAs - I'll decide which one later, but I'm strongly considering trying for one of the NP Security exams, or alternatively SWITCH.

Change of plans! I will keep the CCNP:R&S, but instead further my MCSA to an MCSE. I will also try to get the VMware delta exam in there, probably towards the end of 2016.

daviddws

mostly PowerShell scripting, but eventually would like to get MCSE for 2016 Server when its available.

johnnyarks

ICND2...finally?
CCNA: Security
CCNA: Service Provider

and if I knock out the above quick enough...start on that CCNP

maybe a Juniper / checkpoint cert

Params7

One or two Linux based certifications, and CCNP R&S.

cisco_nerd

CCDP and CCIE Collaboration for me

MrAgent

So I am going to make the plunge and pick up some Cisco gear and start labbing for the CCENT, CCNA, and CCNA Security.
I don't think picking up the is too much of a stretch to get by the end of the year. I may put the CISSP on the back burner for now.

I'm contemplating the same...

I'm heading for CEH and OSCP. If I have enough time, I'd also like to get CCNA and CCNA Security.

diggitle

eJPT ---> OSCP

thaiguy314

Net+ (just because I'm positive I could easily pass it and it would compliment my Sec+)
CASP
CEH (if this whole v8/v9 issue gets cleared up)



VERY wishful thinking for 2016:
CISSP

nster

I'll be trying to finish my MCSA 2012, get a SQL administration MCTS, and do the CCNA I've been pushing back for forever in the first half of 2016, as well as Security +. I'm still debating whether to invest time in VCP this year or later.

Second half of 2016 I want to do WGU

koz24

CCDA/CCDP, CCNA Sec/Collab

Hi All, I am a very long time lurker I found this site in the first few months of my computer science degree in many years ago. All of the long time users and moderators messages have been invaluable to form. I've decided 2016 is the year I'm going to start posting myself. My goals for the year are the following;

VCP-DCV5 - Feb 2016
OSCP - April 2016
CISM - June 2016
CISSP - July 2016
Finish Masters Degree - August 2016

I reckon I can definitively do the VCP, CISM, CISSP and degree. The OSCP poses a bigger challenge but when I put money on the table I'm not going to leave it there.
