After A+ is it possible to go on to ccna or will that be too big of a jump and would the N+ be worth doing before attempting the ccna. I have some networking knowledge, but not a great deal.

I'd personally say N+ will help get you ready for the CCNA, but im only on A+ myself, so im sure someone who's taken both can give you a better idea!

 

I think your spot on , definately N+ before CCNA from what I've read on hear and heard at college, N+ gives you the grounding, OSI model etc...

 

Do you use Cisco products? If not then definately Network+

 

I have had a (brief) look at the CCNA objectives, and would say you need to have a good understanding of networking generally - the network+ will definately help you with that.

Si

 

Good point!

Rob why are you considering the CCNA?

 

I do not use Cisco products at the moment but that is the area I would like to work in so I thought it would help if I had the ccna certification but it seems it might be better to do the N+ first as that will give me a good understanding to build on.

 

yup , go with the Network+ first, as it will give you a foundation upon which to build your Cisco knowledge.
Best of luck

 

Agreed - the Network+ will help you pass the CCNA. Without experience with Cisco devices, it'll be quite difficult to pass the CCNA - you'll need every advantage you can get.
