CCNA is a a basic networking certificate for those who have little or no networking experience.\nCCNP is an advanced certificate for those who have good experience in medium/large business network infrastructure.\nIt is up to you to decide which one is better. If you're still new to networking, then it's useless to try and attempt a CCNP, try CCNA first.

Computer System & Networking will give you a good understanding of computer hardware and computer networking. You will know how to trouble shoot hardware, software, and network related problems. However, if you would really like to learn about all the inner workingsof a computer and how they inner relate to one another then I would suggest pursuing something in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. In my personal opinion this would be a better choice.

dude, a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Engineer) is NOT the same as a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate).\n\nsince you're a CCNA, you're target job would be a support technician or a level-1 helpdesk for an I.T. company or a customer-support resource & management firm better known as a call center.\n\ntaking you're certification to the next level (CCNP) is also a good idea  =)

do both because you'll need the mcse for the computers and ccna for the network the computers run on.

If you take CCNA, that is basic and you take CCNP. if you take MCSE, better take it till MCIE. this is the highest, you have or received certificate and ID , certified by BILL GATES himself.

While CCNP is great, a CCIP will likely give you greater employment opportunities, as well as better pay....needless to say, a CCIP is also harder to aquire.

The best start towards this goal is to study for and receive Ciso Certifications.\nThe first test you'll need to study for is the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Assocaite).\n\nNext would be CCNP (Professional).\n\nThen go to the "design path", CCDA (Design Associate), CCDP (Professional).\n\nThere are lot of ELECTIVE certifications for any area in networking that you'd like to specialize in (for example, I specialize in Wirelss Networking).\n\nThe ultimate cert is the CCIE (Cisco Certifed Internetworking Expert) which is very tough to pass, has both a written exam and a LAB.\n\nMost of the study material for this is available on the Internet or you can purchase books on the topic.\n\nI highly recommend that you have a "lab" environment to get "hands on" experience.\n\nAfter receiving your CCNA, a lot of companies will be interested in hiring you into their Network Organization.\n\nGood Luck, Networking is a very exciting and rewarding career field :)

Don't even worry about doing this... the question dump for the CCNA is well over 1000 questions... by the time you finish studying that you could have read the book 5 times.  Besides, even if you got every multiple choice question right, you can fail miserably by not doing well on the one or two simulation questions they have.\n\nOh see you are writing a program.... just get the book and read it.. then write your program.

i would say it would depend on what you want to your degree to apply to. computer science is a foundational degree that can apply to more careers and be a more powerful option whereas networking pushes you into a career area and can limit you in future career possibilities. both are good options, technology is a strong sector for employment. so there ya go, hope this helped, you can try monster.com and bls.gov for more advice.

Networking?\n\nCCNA is easy and widely recognised, CCNP after that is a fun challenge that will give you a very strong knowledge of networks, and a good footing for moving on to more specific areas.

first you have to take A+ for hardware cause it will help you when you Begin to take MCSE after that try CCNA

Yes, but do not stop there go ahead and take the ccnp also. you will be glad you did.

First of all why do you want to do these courses:\n\n1. If you want to just know some concepts in networking then you can go for CCNA alone. It is normally a 1 month course and will cost you around 15000 ( including test ).\n\n2. If you are serious about a career in networtking then go for ccna first and then after completing it go for CCNP and MCSE.\nRemember, MCSE as 7 papers so the cost is also high and not all people can clear it, only people who are looking for networking career will do it.\n\nAll the best!

Basic computer experience is important and it helps if you have a little bit of networking experience (even just a home network) but it's not absolutely necessary.  Beyond that, the single best book you can read to cover all of the fundamentals is the Cisco Press book, CCNA Self Study, Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices.  I put a link below.  Many other books to choose from, but I would start with the Cisco Press book, and maybe just use ONE additional book, like an Exam Cram or Sybex study guide, preferably one that comes with a CDROM and you can generate your own practice tests.  When you pass the practice tests with 80% or better, you're ready for the real thing.  In addition, make sure to go through Cisco's web site on this as well.  I put a link to that also below.  Good luck, wise move learning Cisco.
