Thirteenth Step posted:My CCENT cert expires this September so I need to get going on CCNA really. Last time I took this exam I failed by quite a distance after watching/note taking through the CBT Nuggets video series. I thought I was we'll prepped and bound for a 1000 but apparently not. I'm studying for the CCENT portion of the CCNA right now by using the Lamle book. I've been watching the nugget videos but there is just so much that's being missed. I would use both. One for the nitty gritty information and the other for an easy explanation and follow along.

So there's an opportunity for me to maybe play around with Microsoft SCCM at work. Are there any books or materials that might help me out with this? I'll be eventually going for my MCSA soonish so I figure this is a good way to show my bosses that I can potentially handle the big time and move up from support.

forever gold posted:Is it enough to land a help desk position with just the A+ and Network+ but no experience? The job postings in my area almost always stress previous experience no matter what the position is. That is pretty much the purpose of those certs. Anything that says 2 years of experience of help desk is bullshit. Get A+ and apply. Hell you could probably put in your résumé "persuing A+ certification" and get hired.

I can see that. Someone using a brain dump cert to con their way into a job is much different than someone using a cert as supplement to their normal job and partial experience. Of course if you use a dump, get a job, and can't do it you'll get fired pretty quick so it works out in the end.

DrAlexanderTobacco posted:If you liked Jeremy Cioara I'd love to hear what you think of James Conrad (MCSAs) - he seems to be completely divisive. I quite like him personally. I see James Conrad as someone teaching a comedy defensive driving course. You are tasked with learning something that may or may not be kinda dull, but he tries his best to liven it up as best he can. I think he's alright, even with his overly perky attitude

It's really dependent on what career path you want. Networking or system admin? Sure a CCNA will help you out some if you're managing servers but probably not to the degree the cert provides. A bit overkill

I think it depends on if you want to quit insurance now and get a leg up on experience with a help desk job. If you're content with your current position then yea sure go for the CCNA and try and break in through that. It'll definitely take you further in your career.

Judge Schnoopy posted:I'm in that terrible position where I'm done studying for the ccna but I can't tell if I'm ready for the test. I read through Odom's icnd1 book and competed a 30 hour video course on udemy, following along in the packet tracer. I can set up a test lab with three routers, 9 switches, and 3 vlans, without looking at my notes. This is where I see the value of dumps. You don't have get the latest dump and memorize answers but you could get an older one and get a feel for the test from real examples. We had a file cabinet in college filled with old tests that was great study material for this exact reason.

Barracuda Bang! posted:So, I was trying to go towards CCNA via self-study, but I'm not a great self-motivator. I was looking online for courses, but a lot of them are in the $3k+ range. However, I found one on coursehorse for just under $800, here: http://coursehorse.com/ccna-training-nyc/cisco-ccna-ccent-certification Maybe try one of the Chris Bryant videos from Udemy? The short segments may be easier to follow and you can lab along side it seems.

Jeesis posted:I am currently working on getting the CCNA and am intending to get a Microsoft server cert and preferably specialize in security. But have zero experience working at corporate job or really even in a cubicle farm. Am I going to have trouble getting a job even if I have the certs? A MCSA or CCNA prior to any real experience would easily get your foot in the door somewhere as desktop support. You wouldn't need A+ unless you really wanted to for that basic desktop support knowledge which you would pick up on the job in a matter of weeks anyway. I would go ahead and pick up Security+ however since that is a baseline security cert until you can go down the CISSP route George H.W. Cunt fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Hell yea English degreed IT buddy Funny enough I trump up that stupid degree by saying something along the lines of "The IT industry has a problem with communication and this here English degree was perfect for learning how to think critically, analyze, and communicate with others." It goes surprisingly well.

Does anyone have experience with the alternate MCSA offerings instead of the 412? I'd like to learn some sql so I'd at least have some potential talking point during interviews for other positions. Also with a bunch of stuff moving to O365 that seems like s viable option as well.

Sefal posted:I need some advice. Yesterday I finally passed the MCSA 70-412 exam. I kinda don't know where to go from here. I believe I need more experience before I go for the MCSE cert. Is this your only cert? The one-two punch MCSA and CCNA should land you a decent position out of help desk or jr system admin. VMWare VCP-DCV is a good place to go next as well.

My VCP5 expires right when I get back from hiking the AT. I think I'm gonna just let it lapse and hopefully finish up my MCSA right before I quit my job and leave for 6 months. Right idea or should I re-up the VCP6 delta exam before I go instead?
