I'm looking at doing a certification as I'm currently a computer operator and feel like I'm forgetting everything I've learnt or its becoming increasingly irrelevant. Many people have suggested trying for a CCNA but only having a little networking experience and not working in a Network team I feel like it might be a step too soon (and its expensive). Any tips as I feel this is something I would like to aim for but don't want to waste my time and money on something which I may not be able to do?

What to do - We usually recommend the CompTIA A+ as the best place to start on an IT career. Take a look around our A+ forum to see the recommended study materials (you shouldn't have to go to deep!).

Where to begin - Buy the recommended book and start reading it. Get some old PC's and use them for the labs in the book.

Where will it end - Well, the truth is that if you want to be successfull in IT that it never will.

Hope this helps.

 

If you have limited networking experience and want to tackle the CCNA, I'd suggest the A+ and Network+ certs as a foundation.

 

I agree to the 2 previous posts. I have searched this site and looked at the fundementals of the A+ and N+ courses, and that is the best way to kick start your I.T. career...
