One post will suffice with all your questions in the appropriate forum. I.e. the network+ forum. Imo, the N+ isnt worth much in the UK. The knowledge it gives a new student is, but dont expect it to open doors. Thats from my experiance anyway. The comptia certs seem to be worth alot more across the pond. Ive never seen a job post in the UK asking for comptia. Good luck with the exam.

In the UK, i would really say the CCNA track. i would recommend splitting it into two exams. start with the CCENT and then do the 2nd exam for the CCNA. I would also recommend supplementing your cisco studies with Juniper as another skillset. All this is of course if your heading the network route and not the sys admin/engineer route. once you have the base network knowledge you could either then step up to the pro levels and then start specialising too. Hard work but the career possibilities in networking are pretty good, plus theres usually good wages to compliment.
