in CCNA & CCENT
Hi all!
New to the forum and was hoping to get a little feedback from those of you who have been in the networking cert trenches for a little while. I have decided to further pursue my networking education… sort of picked up where I left off from earlier 2000's.
My main dilemma is wether to start off with the CCENT or the CCNA first. I had been CCNA certified in 2000-2001… the company that I was working for had me pretty busy with other areas in the department and I wasn't able to utilize my Cisco training, which was pretty disappointing.
Is the CCENT geared more for people who are brand new entirely to networking? I'm thinking that since it's been a good while since my certificate expired, that might be my best bet.

CCENT - For noobs to networking
CCNA Composite Exam - Those with Cisco exposure who are looking to get certifiedModularity and Design Simplicity:
Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

The CCENT is the first half of the CCNA (ICND1, while CCNA is ICND1 + ICND2). I'd go for ICND1 first, picking up your CCENT along the way, and then going straight on to ICND2 for your CCNA.CCIE Security - this one might take a while... -

That's just the CCNA (200-120) exam, if I read the chart correctly.CCIE Security - this one might take a while...
