Welcome to CF!

If you've had a networking background, maybe CompTIA Network+ would be a good start to solidify your knowledge and get that all important certification.

 

Hi and welcome to CF!

If you are *in* a job then why not ask your 'team-leader' (or whatever your immediate boss is called) what he would consider worthwhile?

WAN is a huge field that covers all sorts of things, not all of them TCP/IP related. So what do you do?

Harry.

 

Well so you guys have a better view at what i do please see www.multitech.com , products on their are what i support plus the UK office normally goes that little extra to provide a whole solution.

As for asking bosses have to very careful of being groomed by the company i was lucky to land this job as it was word of mouth not my grades so now looking to get it on paper and improve

 

OK so what are your actual job roles.
Do you fault find the network environment? set the equipment up? configure it? fix it? paint it a nice shade of blue?

A Little bit more detail on the kinda things you do would help with what sort of qualification you could go for

 

Ok, i do all of the above as well as support the internal network except paint .

front line support
Answer phone
support quries
testing products
fault finding
solution building
configure units


internal
PC repair
control anti virus
back ups
run PBX, VoIP (SIP) system
run support desk
slowly learning how to use 2003SBS
check spam filters three times a day
run the internal and external firewalls
make sure every one is running as well as they should be.


but now i want to move on to an engineer.

 

Welcome to CF.

 

Welcome!

I usually recommend A+, Network+, and MCDST for people who don't yet have any certifications.

 

Ok thanks, any ideas where i could get a mock exam so i can see where i might fall?

 

Hi welcome, do A+, N+ thenMS certs

 

Hello and welcome to CF!

Comptia Network would be a good cert to have if you want to stay in networking. however you've got to do some soul searching first and find out what skills and interest you have in IT.

What do you really like, ie. working in customer support, stripping down PC's, creating web sites, working in networks. Do you want to become a manager?

Most follow the Comptia A+, N+ route

Whatever you decide good luck!

 

Welcome to CF, you've been given some excellent advice above which I think would get you going. Cheerio and good wishes.

 

now that would be a cool thing to see on a job spec

by the way - welcome to the mad-house!

 

Hi there and welcome
