Title: CCNA Post by: evilknight on November 22, 2005, 01:58:49 PM So yeah, I'll be starting into the second quarter of work towards my CCNA after this x-mas.
I thought I'd try and give networking a shot after visiting one of the Cisco bases of operation, the one I visited being in....Raleigh, I think. But yeah, fun stuff. 'bout time I found a topic that I do well in and that I find interesting. ;) Title: CCNA Post by: RipperRoo on November 22, 2005, 05:51:00 PM Um, whats a CCNA?
Title: CCNA Post by: evilknight on November 22, 2005, 06:02:30 PM C - Cisco
C - Certified N - Network A - Associate It's the first step taken towards a career in network administration and the such. After a few years of studying with my CCNA I can take a test for a CCNP (cisco certified network professional). There's a third level, but it's hella hard to obtain, so that wouldn't even be a possibility for me until like 10+ years from now, assuming I don't die in a nuclear holocaust before that.

I've only looked at the cisco courses, haven't dared to take them...yet...if ever Title: CCNA Post by: evilknight on November 23, 2005, 01:50:38 AM you know, the really awsome part is I don't have to pay for this class I'm taking, because I'm taking it in highschool.
If I make a high enough grade average for the 2 year course (I think a B or higher is the standard) I get to go straight to the test for my CCNA, plus I get fifty bucks off the cost of taking the test. Woot. |
