COmpany might pay for my Enterprise Administrator Certifications

t3ch_guru

The company I work for wants me to give them a document that has the price of the exams on it. I hope they end up paying for the whole thing. I'm looking at the MCITP:EA. Also what would be another exam you would add. I have an interest in security. Security+ maybe? Unless there would be a better Security exam to start with. CEH?

CCNA would be nice too, but isn't it crazy expensive? Any advice would be nice.

Thanks

Actually, I believe that the CCNA would be cheaper than the Security+

Security+ is the standard entry-level security cert. You don't want to start with CEH.

CCNA is only $250 (as far as the exams go; you can rack up a ton with equipment).

You think it would be worth taking the Security+(probably been asked a million times)? I would like to get CISSP one day. A friend of mine who is a Sr. Network Engineer said he would sponsor me.

What's the level of your current security knowledge/ability? If you're just starting out, yes.

Well start with the Sec+ - tats a good starting point for security certs - moreover it covers the basics for security and since u have a bit of networking knowledge - i think that should help
