Hey all, first post here. I just passed my OS exam (2003 objectives) on Wednesday with a 772 and am now A+ certified. I'm trying to decide what cert to go for next. I'm thinking either Network+ or maybe a Microsoft cert (MCDST?).

I started out 10 years ago doing dial-up tech support for a local ISP and as the company kept getting bought out migrated through several different jobs including cable TV installer, cable modem specialist, and now back to IT as a desktop tech/jack of all trades.

I've got a little experience with lots of different IT niches, but I lack a solid background in any one.

Any advise is appreciated.

Network + might seem to be good as you've dealt with networks in your previous roles...

 

i think both need to be done... network+ then MCDST - if you wanting to go down the MS route

 

Welcome!

Both certifications are useful. Why decide on one or the other? Do both!

 

Yep Network+ is usually the second cert of choice.

oh and congratulations on the A+ mate

 

Well done, on the A+

I agree, do both! As for the order, take your pick.
