I passed CCNA yesterday.Its really very happy.I really spent a lot effort for this certification.However, the result is still quite good gratifying.So now i want to share with the every candidate my experience.Maybe you are preparing the 642-975 certification ,you can refer to!
First of all, I want to thank everyone on the forum for answering my sometimes-curious-and-strange questions. The syllabus was relatively easy for me to understand, as I hold a postgraduate university degree in computer networks. However, I have to say I am impressed with the topics covered by CCNA, as there were many concepts we didn’t even touch in university! Of course the knowledge required for a cisco certification is more technical-oriented than the knowledge acquired in university, but now I can see that having both the academic and the practical/technical knowledge is a great advantage.
I also need your opinion about what will be the best thing to learn after CCNA. I’m now working as a Network engineer (since three weeks ago ). I’m thinking to start studying for CCNA wireless or CCNA security. Do you think that such a certification will be useful, or is it better to go straight to CCNP ? Also, what non-cisco certification will be most useful combined with Cisco knowledge ? for example, is it worth to go for a Microsoft or Linux Certification?
