New to Juniper, Need advice

SWtacoma

Hello TE,
After having passed the Sec + recently, I have decided to pursue a vendor cert. Since I am in the Cisco Acadamy at College, I thought it might be wise to learn things on the Juniper end as well. I see that the JNCIA-Junos certificate version 102 is going to be the current entry level certification. I am having issues figuring out the cost of the exam as well as relevant study materials. I have seen one book covering the subject on Amazon and the Juniper website seems to really want to you to take their $700 courses which I cannot afford. If anyone can give me some advice on materials for self study, it would be much appreciated.

Juniper provide training material for the JNCIA exam via their 'Fast Track' program on their website, basically it consists of 2 PDF's which is likely all the material you need to pass the exam. Other than the PDF's I would recommend CBT nuggets JNCIA videos as these are quite good and help cement the various topics.

You can also take a practice test on their website and if you pass (It can be re taken) you get a 50% exam discount voucher which is a nice bonus.
