You have to decide which way you want to go.\n\nIf you want to go for System Admin or Network Admin then start study from A+ to MCSE/RHCE/Sun Solaries.Take only one OS (As per my suggetion) & make your self "GURU".\nOr if you want to go Network Engineering then go for CISCO/Nortel training.

Do you mean Cisco Certified Network Associate?\n\nThe CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.\n\nCisco authorizes training in this certification many places - you need to go to their website and find the closest academy to you. \n\nGo to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/hmpgs/index.html and look under "training".\n\nGood luck to you - once you get through this, you will always have work if you want it.

A network is usually going to be several pieces of equipment, connected together with computer cables.  Smaller networks may have all the pieces built together into one box.  \nYou'll probably want a router & firewall, a switch, and a wireless access point.  \nIf you're not experienced with networking, the best idea is to call a local computer networking shop, and ask for an appointment with their network engineer.  You'll talk over what kind of a company you are, and what you want, and they'll recommend a whole network, which they can sell and install.\n\nAsking around for referrals is a good idea, you can also find networking companies here:  http://tools.cisco.com/WWChannels/LOCATR/jsp/partner_locator.jsp

Its important that you first decide what type of support you want to provide.  Getting both is not likely to help you unless you are working as the single IT resource for a small company.\n\nAre you interested in networking?  Are you interested in Desktop support?  Are you interested in Databases?  Are you interested in hardware?  \n\nFigure out what you want to do and there are lots of certifications that you can get.\n\nSeek employment with a temp agency and see if you can be exposed to junior level support in all of the above areas and then you can select your career path.\n\nMCSE, (Microsoft Cert) CCNA (Cisco Cert) OCP (Oracle Cert) all are several thousand to attend a course and certify in.  Or you can self study and take the tests only for $100 per test.  Each cert has different requirements that change frequently.

An Associates Degree (in the Arts, Sciences, Fine Arts) takes two years.  Usually only junior/community colleges offer it as a degree.\n\nYou can also pick up professional certifications (IT networking, medical technician, electrician) from vocational schools or community colleges in 1-2 years usually.\n\nIf the job you want requires a Bachelor's though, you're probably going to have to get it one way or the other (online courses or evening from an accredited university might be the way to go).  Co-op's are available at a number of corporations so you can complete your studies over time and work with them in the interim.

there are lots of 'direction' you can go when you are an it student: \nweb (web design and programming),\ndatabase-expert (specialist in database),\ndatabase related (create program related to database for companies),\ngames related (create games),\nnetwork administrator (handle a network).\nsecurity-expert (knows system holes and how to secure them),\ncomputer science (related to artificial intelligence), etc.\n\nfind the thing that you are interest with, and study it well. cause each direction has their own thing to study. i believe if you study yours well enough, you will work in a very big company.\na little advice: experience is one of the key.

Its going to take you very long seeing as you got no cisco experience. Those who acheived it in a crash course have had at least a year or two worth of hands on experience & thats why it seemed easy. If you have no experience, you will have to study for quite a while before passing your exams. What qualifications do you have below ccna? & how many years worth of hands-on experience do you have?

Learn about electronics.  Don't take many short cuts.\n\nThen go to college and learn electrical engineering.  That is the easiest way due to the resources it takes to learn it.  You will learn about software, circuits, materials (this is very important), design, and all the other things that go along with it.  You will also be able to try things out in a lab enviornment where a lot of the good learning can happen.  I am an electrical engineer who has gotten to do the design.  If your interested then go for it.

A Network Administrator, also known as a systems administrator, LAN administrator, information systems administrator, network operations analyst, network technician, or junior network engineer, is an IT professional who manages an organization’s PCs and LAN network. This management includes rolling out new equipment, as well as performing corrective and preventative measures on existing equipment.\n\nDuties of a network administrator, for which nearly every network out there requires at least one, include the installation, configuration and maintenance of PCs, networking equipment and network operating systems. As well, a network administrator must deal with patching systems where necessary as well as locking down systems so that only authorized personal can access and use them. Network administration is a rather highly technical role. A good understanding of network operating systems, network equipment and networking protocols is essential, as well as\n basic ability to program scripts and batch files. However, relatively strong interpersonal skills are also important, as the network administrator must understand the networking needs and problems of users and be able to address those issues in a timely fashion. Lastly, a network administrator must be diligent at documenting the network as well as be proficient at troubleshooting problems, often under tense situations. This includes knowing when to give up trying to be the hero when solving a problem and having the humility to go to outside sources for help.\n\nA person may consider entering this field after attaining a Computer Science or Computer Engineering university degree or a one or two year computer diploma from a local technical institute. However, some Network administrators are quite proficient without this recommended educational background. Either way, at least some dedicated training and related certification in one or more leading network operating systems is highly recommended as is training and certification on network equipment and protocols. A large dose of caution is also important as is the ability to plan for what-if scenarios and to remember to provide management and users with a heads up on system changes and upgrades.\n\nA network administrator often moves on to becoming a network or systems engineer and reaps higher salary rewards as a result. As well, those with exceptional communication and interpersonal skills often slide into management roles, but not generally until first becoming a network or systems engineer.\n\nSalary information is so dependent on an IT professional’s particular skill set, experience and geographic location. However, fairly experienced network administrators can attain salaries around $50,000 USD.\n\nMicrosoft’s Windows Server 2003 MCSE certification (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) is “for professionals who analyze the business requirements and design and implement the infrastructure for business solutions based on the Microsoft Windows® 2000 platform and Microsoft Windows Server System™.” The Windows Server 2003 MCSE emerged in the summer of 2003, three years after the introduction of the Windows 2000 MCSE.\n\nThis MCSE certification does not retire but newer versions of it are released every few years as Microsoft upgrades their core server technologies. There are no specific prerequisites for the MCSE, although Microsoft says: “candidates should also have at least one year of experience implementing and administering network operating systems and desktop operating systems.“ As soon as candidates pass their first qualifying exam for the MCSE program, they achieve a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification. There is also a fair bit of overlap between the MCSE and the MCSE:Security certification.\n\nJob roles of those pursuing this MCSE certification typically include: systems engineers, technical support engineers, systems analysts, network analysts, and technical consultants.\n\nTo achiev
