CCNT Cert

I3astardsI3astards Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
Hi all,

Im currently studying my Network+ cert. After getting the cert (fingers crossed) I want to look onto doing other courses and I can see the CCNT would be good as a work for a telecoms company (we offer VoiP).

CTP+ Certified | Powered by Certification Partners

My question is, how much of a step up is CCNT compared to Network+? Im looking at doing an Avaya course at some point and the CCNT looks a good course to do first, what do you think?

Thanks

    Double post from:

    Ccnt - TechExams.net IT Certification Forums

    Not to throw you out there with mal-intent, but double posting is becoming way too common icon_redface.gif

    I haven't messed with a convergence or CTP exam but I feel like you should go with the vendor that your telecom company offers first (it seems in this case Avaya) and then come back to vendor neutral to round you out. I don't know how much experience you have or how close to a promotion you are but I feel that having a grasp on the technologies offered at the company currently will give you an edge when it comes to internal hiring (amongst other performance factors).

    Yeah I didnt know which forum to post in so I did both, but point taken.

    Good point, that you have made there.

    However, did you find that the CCNT was much harder than Network+ ?? I can see you have both certs.

    Np man. I think I'm realizing you mean the CCENT and not the Convergence CompTIA exam. :)

    I actually went A+ -> CCENT -> Net+. It took me about 2 weeks after the CCENT to study enough to beat the Net+. To me the Net+ was easy because I took a CCENT/CCNA class, watched the nuggets and labbed like crazy; imagine a broader CCENT without sims. My toughest issue was remembering WAN capabilities and the different types of connections. Either way you take the exams, they build on each other and compliment each other. For some taking the Net+ first sets a strong foundation for vendor specific networking. I took Cisco first because I'm a hands on guy.

    CCENT is Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician
    CCNT is Certified in Convergent Network Technologies.

    Please clarify which one you are looking for. These are cisco forums, so some of us might assume a type-o and that you mean CCENT. CCNT is a Comp-TIA certification.

    CCNT and CCENT are completely different certifications from completely different companies. You should use that other thread you started as this is the Cisco CCENT/CCNA forum.
