Need advice...

CoreyM

Hello all,

Im currently undertaking a Diploma in Network Management, and i am interested in gaining some certs in my own time while i am doing it as i like to push myself and i know they will come in handy when if finish the diploma... I just need some advice on which networking related cert to do first, (i would like to end up doing network security in the far future) i was thinking of doing the Network+ followed by possibly ccna as i have a tiny bit of exposure to cisco products in my course. Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers,

CoreyM

I would go with what you proposed. Network+ followed by CCENT/CCNA.

I'm undertaking my diploma too in Network Management as well. Just curious what school you go to?

I am in Sydney in Australia... at a TAFE, what about you?

If you have even a small bit of experience with Cisco equipment, I'd suggest CCENT. It's basically a little bit harder version of the Network+ with more emphasis on Cisco and subnetting. It's a more respectable cert, imo.
