Cisco’s CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is an introductory-level certification. The 640-801 single exam option is the most popular route to earning the CCNA, however, a two-exam option was introduced by Cisco in 2003. The CCNA is designed for IT professionals who 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,\n\nIP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.” \n\nThe CCNA can be used as a starting point for higher level certifications, such as the CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) and CCDP (Cisco Certified Design Professional). It is a prerequisite for each of these certifications.\n\nThe CCNA got its start back several years ago. It was most recently changed in the summer of 2003 when a two exam path (INTRO and ICND) was added as an alternative to the one exam path (CCNA). The CCNA is valid for three years. “To recertify, pass the current exam or any new exam at the Professional or Cisco Qualified Specialist level bearing the prefix 642.” \n\nJob roles of those pursuing this certification generally include: systems administrator and network administrator.\n\nFor more information:\nhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/le2/le0/le9/learning_certification_type_home.html

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

the best certification to get is the CCIE\n\nCisco CCIE is the worldwide doctorate of networking\n\nbut anything below it and above the CCNA will make you a proven asset that all employers will want... \n\nbut it will take years till you get to the CCIE level and the exam is really costly.\n\ngood luck\n\nsalaries start at $102,000 \n\nhttp://www.cramsession.com/articles/get-article.asp?aid=925

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  =)

Post your resume on Monster.com and update it everyday.  Just having a certification doesn't mean that you will get hired as a CCNA.  Most places want experience.  Good luck.

I am telling by experience.\n\nThe best way to get into IT networking is by doing the following:\n1. Do MCSE 2003 (noawadys). \n2. Get a job as junior administrtor apply all the concepts you learnt in MCSE.\n3. after couple of years of experience \n4. Start CCNA because it's core networking course, MCSE and couple of years of experience will help you a lot in understanding concepts in CCNA.\n5. When opting for CCNA don't go for a crash course, od a proper course from a proper Institute.\n6. You'll be surprised with the results.\n\nRemember there's no shortcut to success.\n\nHope it helps

If you took your CCNA online through Accademy Connect, make sure you took the voucher tests. Being that you have no background it will probably be better to take the two test version. I Will be taking my second, in about a week. My professor, whos is also the Dean for the information division is a very intelligent teacher and through his guidance has proved that it is better to take the two version because it breaks it down a lil better making it easier to study for.

There are four required exams for CCNP certification, you can pass them in any order: Routing, Switching, Remote Access and Troubleshooting.  I did them in that order.  Here are the official exam names and numbers: 642-801 BSCI, 642-811 BCMSN, 642-821 BCRAN, 642-831 CIT.\n\nEach exam is somewhat difficult.  Many people say switching is the hardest, some people say routing is the hardest.  I have never met or heard of anyone who thought remote access or troubleshooting were the hardest.  But these last two are also not "easy" exams, but may not require as much raw knowledge, studying and memorization as routing and switching do.\n\nFor proper preparation, I would spend time browsing www.ciscopress.com and look through the self-study guides and/or the exam certification guides.  Below is the one link you need for CCNP info which has links to all of the relevant Cisco Press books.  For each exam, if you already have experience, consider the exam certification guide.  If you need the fundamentals and don't have much experience, go with a self-study guide.\n\nThere are many other books out there on CCNP exam prep, but I would stick with Cisco Press, they're official and they're usually the best.  I have also used ExamCram books for extra brush-up and practice questions, and they come with a CD so you can install and take your own practice tests.  When you consistently and honestly pass practice tests with 80% or higher you're generally ready for the real thing.\n\nIn addition to CCNP, you mentioned VoIP so consider (in addition to, or in place of CCNP) the CCVP, Cisco Certified Voice Professional.  I put a link to that as well.  If time permits, I highly recommend CCNP first, as CCVP is more of a "specialization" certification.  CCNP shows you have your routing and switching knowledge... your basic "block & tackle" skills, the fundamentals, and then a CCVP further defines you as a voice specialist.\n\nI'm assuming you have your CCNA, if not, you'll need it first in order to obtain CCNP or CCVP.  Good luck.
