What is the total number of Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Certified?

Above answer is just fine. I am answering this so the "expired" question can go into voting.

I say go straight for CCNP, if you wait too long you may forget some of the finer points of how to configure a router etc.\n\nThat is unless you are using your certification in the industry already.

600 or 700... i don't remember, i passed it aabout 2 yrs ago, check www.comptia.com

You're talking about different fields here.  If you want to become a Systems Administrator, then you'll probably want to go with the MSCE.  If you want to be a network engineer, then go with the Cisco cert...

On the Web, look up CompTIA Network+ Certification and preperation.  This is the PC industry standard for learning about networking.  Many free sites will guide you through the courseware.

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is an entry or "apprentice" level networking certification. Cisco created the CCNA to recognize basic competency in computer networking, particularly for installation and support of LAN/WAN networks having 100 nodes or fewer. The CCNA covers both IP and non-IP networks including Novell IPX and AppleTalk.\n\nObtaining the CCNA requires passing a single certification exam. The CCNA exam, newly revised in 2002, contains 55-65 questions and lasts approximately 90 minutes. It now costs $125 (USD) to sit the exam.\n\nAlthough the CCNA has no formal prerequisites, one must effectively complete hundreds of hours of study to prepare. Primarily, one must understand basic routing and switching as they relate to network design, performance and security.\n\nCisco offers more advanced certifications like CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) and several varieties of CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) for those who wish to progress beyond the basic CCNA.

Is CSQA popular? I think SCJA/SCJP/SCJD would be more popular...\n\nWell... any certification should be useful !\n\nP.S. I do have Network+ and CCNA

torrentspy.com search for CCNA, but you need azureus installed. you will be able to see e-books related to anything in the IT world.

Probably yes!\n\nMost places that want techs for this require them to be Cisco certified.

This is specific knowledge for electrical and computer engineering.  If you want to know about it you can sign-up for IEEE explore\nhttp://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/10095/32328/01509649.pdf?arnumber=1509649

My recomendation is first take A+ core hardware and OS technologies. Just get a book (exam cram or something like it) and and older p2 or p3. read the book, practice a little schedule a test. than take network+. same idea read the book, practice on a test machine then take the test.\nWWW.COMPTIA.ORG\nthese are good entry level tests and are prerequisites to other certs like mcp, ccna\nby the way CCNA is a vendor specific certification (cisco) dealing with cisco networking equipment\nMCSE is also Vendor specific (microsoft windows server and etc.) \nyou should look into these, but get the compTIA ones first.\ngood luck

anthony, 1337 != respect anymore, if your looking for something that you can do and be respected for, dont do the net underground.  all it is is a bunch of kids (script kiddies) yelling how b4d they are and how they can h4ck you into oblivion.  the true 1337s are in russia and countries that dont prosecute you for dropping servers and killing networks... that said, if you want to know what real hackers know, learn the following:\n*linux os - debian,ubuntu or gentoo are good\n*c,c++,c# - they're all related, but standard c is how to control networks\n* tcp/ip and wireless encryption - this is the backbone of the net, how data is moved\n* SQL, php, asp - this is how companies make ecommerce sites, clever sql and form queries get results ('injection')\n\n(these were in order of importance btw)\n\n\n\nlastly, learn, live, do what you want- but dont get caught.  too many kids go out with their 1337 programs that they have no idea how to operate, slam serves, and leave their fingerprints all over... this world is one of patience and learning, not fame and galmour

The answer is, "it depends" on what sub-field of I.T. you are looking to get into.  Yes, certifications are very valuable in addition to a college degree, and in some cases might place you ahead of other candidates who have the degree but no certifications.  For anything Microsoft/Windows related, you want to look at the MCSA or MCSE.  For anything networking related, you want to start with the CCNA from Cisco and the Network+ from CompTIA.  For anything security related, you want to go for the Security+ by CompTIA, or the CISSP by ISC2, but the CISSP is for when you have years of experience in security, that's something to build up to, but it's a great one to have.  For anything database related, pass an Oracle exam or go for Microsoft's MCDBA.  There are other entry level certs through CompTIA that show an interviewer you have a baseline level of knowledge in certain subjects such as A+, Linux+, Server+ and iNet+.  You mentioned CCNP, so I think you might be leaning towards networking... in that case, if you are just starting out in the field, first look to pass the CompTIA Network+ exam which is more general and vendor neutral.  Then definitely go for the Cisco CCNA.  From there you can build up to a Cisco CCNP with a few years under your belt and CCIE when you get to the expert level.  Good luck.

Five Certifications equals one degree
