Re: Path to VCP
I for some crazy reason took CCNA as my first exam years ago and it was a blessing. The certification itself hasn't helped in my career as I never really work on Cisco hardware. However, it was great to have the understanding of networking off the bat. It makes you understand a lot more in all other technologies. Whenever… -
Re: MCSE Windows 2000 Today!
Well, I had 70-210 and 70-215 for 3 & 2 years respectively now. I was involved in a bad car accident that put me out of work in July. So I decided to start back the studies in September since I had so much time on my hands recovering (I broke my leg very badly). I was able to take the rest of the required exams. 70-210 -… -
Re: Suggestions and Advice For Someone Considering the Security+ Certification
I have taken all three certifications (passed all). I admit I do question the path this manager has given you as I would have did them in the reverse order (which I did). A+, Network+ and then Security+. It sounds like you do "application support" so you can decide whether you want to continue in that or move into a more… -
Re: I need help please...
Karla, Welcome to the site. This is a great place to be. You won't understand most of it, but some you will. CCNA is a great place to start, after which you should be considering rounding your knowledge off with client/server operating systems. I would avoid comptia if money is an issue. Demand for there certs doesn't… -
Re: Taking Each Test 1 at a Time Question
@AW177, I'll play devil's advocate...what happens when you fail the first test? Do you stop? Do you reschedule and pay the fee again to retest? I do understand your apprehension, but if you have experience (rusty or not) I think you can use a text like Meyers A-I-O and get yourself up to speed quickly (within 4-6 weeks).… -
Re: Failed ICND1. Devastated.
diplomats101 in regards to the Network+ certification exam, it was not to bad of an exam overall. I took it quite some time ago almost 2 years ago. From what I remember, you will have some simulation/performance based questions (nothing like Cisco just some basic sims like cabling or wireless AP placement type questions).… -
Re: Retirement of CCIP Certification
I haven't been in the Cisco game for too long, but I was there when they went from CCNPv5 to 6, and I didn't feel like it was of my time or money. It went from four topics to two and a quarter (TSHOOT is not really "new" topics). There's nothing different in this case. I don't work with an ISP, so I don't know what the… -
Re: Taking a cheap Help Desk position
I agree w/ NetVet. It really depends on how much of a pay cut you're going to be taking and how much experience you already have. I see you have your CompTIA trio tho - you might be able to do a little better than that. Have you tried Craigslist? That's where I found my 1st IT job (where I now currently work). Also have… -
Re: failed the exam, desperate advice needed
Unfortunately everyone uses scenario questions, Cisco, Microsoft, CompTIA, IBM etc. Scenario questions mimic the real world, you just need to learn to filter the B.S. out like a detective and get just the important facts. It is a basic skill that you must master to be able to apply what you have learned. It is really like… -
Re: Recommended course of action for studying for Sec+
G'Day Mate, You are correct about using Darril Gibson's book, I also used the exam cram as supplemental material, it is a good idea to print out the Security+ objectives and perhaps do a 10 question practise exam from the Comptia website. This may give you some idea on what your strenghts and weaknesses may be. Exam…
