Hi All,

I want to change career to become a Network administrator but cant get a loan to support
tuition with the colleges.

I hoping to work my way up step by step by taking courses/training towards my goal.

Please give me your advice on the best route and which courses or certifications to go for.

Many thanks

Your best bet is getting an entry level position and working your way up. It's very unlikely anyone would let you loose on a network without first having experience supporting users.

Depending where you are working, either the A+, Network+ or CCENT are going to be good shouts.

 

the majority of basic certs you can self study for so you dont need to spent loads of money on courses/training.

 

I would look into network +, ccent, ccna, mcsa certs.

Depending on what you want to work on. If its windows server look into those certs. Ccent and ccna are cisco certs for cisco equipment.
