Hi Kahwala,

I see you already have Certifications: MCP, MCDST, MCSA 2K3, Network+, therefore I would say to forget about the A+ and go for the CCNA.

It does however, depend somewhat on what your job is and where you want to go in your career. If you want to get into networking which I'm guessing you do from your certs and sitting the Net+ I would say go for the CCNA.

A+ is very much a hardware break/fix cert and good to have when applying for entry level jobs. I believe it also gives a good grounding for certs such as Server+ (harware side of things).

It really depends on which way you want to go but personally I say CCNA is your best bet.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do

if you are already MCDST, A+ would be really easy to get within 2 weeks, so why not take it, it always best to have one more cert under your belt, especially when it will not cost you much time studying.

Thanks Malc and Zebra, Apprecicate both of your advice. I decide to go for CCNA and also preparing for A+ within few weeks. I check many career site and found they still mention A+ is nice to have skill for many job.
