Re: Security traning courses
ENSA: Virtually no ground training for this in the US, the only company I have found is in the UK, i think Firebrand Training? There is a dvd based training set out there, but I don't quite trust the company who claims to have it, they weren't sure which version of the material it covered, or wherether they even had it… -
Re: How do I get a better, more engaging job?
I started working in IT 7 years ago as a technician having only the A+ cert, working for this company every day I was miserable having all these guys with so many certs talking over me, telling me to do this and do that, I also had to be answering phone at times like a receptionist so yea it was hell for me, it got worse… -
Re: An Undergrad student's dilemma
Focus on college. It might seem irrelevant, boring, and time-consuming, but the reality is your are going to regret not having a degree down the road. Certifications and experience can certainly get you far enough to make a pretty good living, but the lack of a four-year degree will almost always cap your professional… -
Re: Peace of mind....
I can see valid reason to not bother with certs, such as it getting the way of school or work. But if you still have time. Then don't let the fear of forgetting things stand in your way. And as far as relevancy, don't worry about it. We still have Nt4 workstations floating around here(circa 1995!). So trust me when I say,… -
Re: A + certified (need help on advice)
Spoken like someone with limited experience and/or little interviewing know-how. An experienced interviewer (and even a competent manager) can easily determine if someone's experience is worth anything by simply speaking with them. They can check references, they can give them a problem to troubleshoot. A 'Cert' hold may… -
Re: MSIS with no experience?
Like the others mentioned, that really depends on your interests. If you're interested in server administration, consider MCSA: Server 2012 and VMWare VCP. If you're interested in Networking, consider the CCNA: R&S. The CompTIA certifications do not offer nearly as much of an ROI as the certifications above, but they are… -
Re: Am I SOL?
You can call yourself whatever you'd like, but whatever CompTIA has you listed as is what you are and anything else would be lying. So, if you are requried to pass 2 exams of a particular exam set, then that will be what you need to do if you wish to hold the certificate....without the second exam, in 90 days the exam you… -
Re: CCNP really worth it for me - 2+ years of experience.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, Rogue. When I started out, I grabbed all my CompTIAs and MCSE up really quickly but ended up losing the majority of the knowledge because I didn't use it in my practical work experience. I love networking as well and I picked up the CCNA as part of my degree program but I previously held… -
Re: 10Base-T etc... question regarding the exam
I am not familiar with mnemonic devices for cable lengths, but I do know this every practice test I have taken including the official from Comptia has only asked for the maximum cable length, so for right now that is what I have focused on. So for 10GBaseEr/EW maximum length = 40km, I am taking my network+ July 5 so I'll… -
Re: is there any prerequesition for Security+?
CompTIA recommends that you have A+ and Network+, or equivalent experience. Seeing as how you've already got your CCNA, I don't think you'll have any trouble with the networking concepts. From my experience with the Security+ exam, I kind of wish that I had done CCNA and the MCSA exams (70-270, 70-290, 70-291) before I…
