Certification Goals for 2017

Kinet1c

2016: Another year of undergraduate complete, AWS Sysops and AWS CSA passed. Not enough scripting done but still working through courses and books for it so may be satisfied with my progress when 31st December rolls around.

2017: AWS Dev, AWS Devops and more scripting/coding.

RHCSA
RHCE
MCSA: Linux on Azure

I slowed down a lot in 2016. Hopefully I'll pick the steam back up in 2017.

Looking to finish up my Microsoft Stack add VMware and AWS for 2017.

I'm in the CLUB@!!!!. I passed one cert this year, you'll be happy to read that I'm eJPT certified! Time to hack the world's bank!

Ok, back to reality, my list is as follows

1. C| EH (2016/2017 Trying for this year)
2. LFCS
3. SPSE
4. Either CISSP, CISM, CISA or PMP (probably 2018, but it will also depend on my next job)

My certification goals have changed over the past year. It was more focused on Microsoft Server stuff. However, I am now in a role to where I don't have to touch servers, AT ALL!!

So my goals are quite simply CCNA Wireless, Security, and then start on the NP track. On the NP track I'll start with routing and switching, and then move into more of a wireless/security road. We'll see when I get there. I did hear that NA:Wireless wasn't too bad of a test. Just as long as you understand it already.

Met my goal for 2016 as I knew I'd only have the time and resource to complete the RHCSA with life keeps getting in the way.

As you guessed it, RHCE is my only cert goal for 2017.

Damn man, that's baller. Add that to your AWS certs and you'll be set

Was not planning on getting any certifications at the start of this year, but I accepted a new position earlier in the year which required CEH and CISSP within a certain time period. It felt good getting those two and I want to continue that into next year.

2016: Passed CEH and CISSP.

2017 Goals: MCSA Server 2012, ESRI ArcGIS Desktop Professional, ESRI Enterprise Geodata Management Professional.

Linux +, eJPT, C|EH, SSCP, CSA+, GCIA, CASP

I know there's some overlap, but it'll solidify what I know since I'm not currently working in security, assure employers of the broad coverage of that knowledge and set me up for the next wrung of certs to follow.

MCP2000

MCSA: Office 365

MCSE: Productivity - Focusing on SharePoint

RHONEDOG

Finish MCSA SQL 2012/2014 (one exam left!)

Posssssibly look at MCSE.

Freeguy

Currently on my wishlist for 2017:

WCNA, to learn more about the underlying protocols and get better at packet analysis.
CWAP, to learn more about wireless analysis
CWDP, to learn more about wireless design (and finish up the CWNP program and get the CWNE)

To be honest, that's probably all I will have time for, considering that my work will probably want me to get the PCSNE as well. If I finish the above I'll resume my CCNP studies.

More importantly, I'm resolving to get more "screen-free" time next year

Mooseboost

Goals for 2017:

- MCSA: Server 2012
- Finish ECPPT
- This Cisco thing for the scholarship

Would like to pick up Linux+ or RHCSA but we will see. My company is switching products so they are pushing Fortinet certifications so I will end up picking up at least a couple of those.

emek

CCENT (Maybe Dec 2016)
CCNA:RS

After that it's a little murky. I'd like to eventually get into security. I might go for the CEH. Also considering WGU or Champlain College for Masters.

I am hoping to complete the following next year:

1. CCNA Cyber Ops (May)
2. LFCS
3. C++ Certified Associate Programmer
4. MCSA: Windows 10 (probably before March, just depends)
5. MCSA: Linux on Azure (first part of the cert covered by No. 2)

Time permitting: CCNA R&S and CCNA Security

The only ones I have to do are CCNA Cyber Ops, LFCS (runs out in December), and possibly the MCSA: Windows 10 (might be a job requirement).

I'm going to take the renewal exam for my MCSD Web certification before it expires. Apart from that, I've promised myself no exams in 2017. I feel need to concentrate on learning technologies that don't have certificates, such as Angular and NodeJS.

MCP windows 10
MCSA windows 10

MCSA: SQL Server 2012/2014 (70-461 & 70-463)
MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Administration (70-765)
Maybe RHCSA, something about Exchange Server or Oracle.

I'm hoping to get the MTA Server Fundamentals right off the bat. I want to take that exam no later than mid-February. That leaves me with 10 months to study for the MCSA Server 2012 track. I think that's going to be my year.

Grounder

2016 : Finished CISSP / Paid for GSEC
2017 : Testing for GSEC / MCSA/MCSE: Azure / Starting all my WGU Certs: A+/Linux+/Network+/CCNA/CCNA: Security

Big year ...

I'd like to make an amendment to this...

ICND2 (to renew my CCNA) taking in the first or second week of January.
CCNP Route ~ April time.
CCNP Switch ~ August time.
CCNP TShoot ~ November/December time.

That's what I have down for my goal, and it's on paper, so it has to happen!

After that I plan on going back and completing CCNA:Wireless and CCNA:Security. But my mind often changes like the wind, so it might change by tomorrow. I would just really like to push on for CCNP for next year.
