The CCT seems to be just mainly knowledge of what you'll get if you'll build your own lab for CCENT/NA/... courses.

Meh, not I - the CCT certs don't appear to hold much weight.

Well, it is a brand new cert ... and it is very entry level ... it overlaps half of the CCENT so it seems like it would be a good steping stone toward the CCNA.

I think CCENT would be a better way to get into the CCNA and that some of the information on the CCT R/S syllabus should have been in the CCENT......

It just looks like a waste of money.

The CCT doesnt count toward a CCNA

CCT is built for a field technician who is not concerned with network administration but with fixing the box on site and engaging with TAC

The ICND1 Material should cover the CCT and some - the CCENT definitely would be a smoother move.

Cisco Introduces New Entry-Level Certification: Cisco Certified Technician - The Network: Cisco's Technology News Site

https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/community/certifications/cct

First we had CCIE.

Then we had CCNA.

Then CCENT.

Now CCT.

Honestly how many levels do you want to climb? Go for CCNA and do it in two tests.

Netwurk

I like it because it now makes CCNA a third tier cert whereas it unjustly was looked at as entry level for a long time.

So we now have

1. CCT
2. CCENT
3. CCNA
4. CCNP
5. CCIE

Let the test centers rejoice at their newlyfound loot source

I think Cisco is adding this cert for more money and maybe adding more value to CCNA.? I wouldn't be pushed in doing certifications that don't bring value like CCT in that case why did I get Comptia A+ & Net + certified while being on the Cisco track. Do you have another CCNA track for helpdesk or NOC since you have CCNA-S. Why put CCNA-S on my resume if most HR etc. ppl don't know what it means. I think Cisco is going down the wrong path and following Microsoft but, Cisco do need to add an Cloud Computing cert. (Just Sharing-don't mean to ramble on)

funny thing is that the CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) sounds like it is the lowest cert you can get ...

Im sure sometime cloud computing will make its way into the certification in some way or another. It might be included in Design tree? I know Comptia has Cloud computing essentials. But "how" to get it, or how to get my hands on any reading material - that's a different story. But I haven't invested more than a couple minutes to look for information.
