If you wanted to go in a security role, auditing perhaps, would CCNA Security be worth getting before CISSP/CISA?

At this point it doesn't matter unless you want to work for a Microsoft Partner.

In an attempt to land a network engineering job at a service provider, would CCNA + RHCSA be the recommended course?

Chris Bryant has a video series (similar to CBT Nuggets) on Udemy for $44 w/coupon BULLDOG44 and $5 study guides. You'd probably only need the ICND2 guide at this point.

What areas are you having trouble with?

ICND1 exam tomorrow morning. Any suggestions? Trying to maintain the regular habits, eat well, sleep early, etc. Not looking at anything exam related today and just relaxing.

It's not as expensive as most IT exams, and you can take it again in 5 days after getting an idea of how they ask questions if you don't end up passing.

Failed with a 725. Looks like there were a few simple holes in my studies (Security, NAT and Switching needed refreshing). The printout with subject percentages is nice (100% subnetting, woo!). Should get it next Friday no problem. The exam was extremely easy compared to the labs I had been doing with GNS3 Vault and Workbench. I had been using this app to reinforce what I've studied so far and seems like it helped tremendously.

Haven't used Cisco's but CBTNuggets is always recommended.

Have any of you gone through any of Amazon's AWS certification courses? I'd like to work towards becoming an infrastructure/cloud engineer.

What would be good to dive in to after the CCNA? Getting a CCNP without any professional experience seems counter-intuitive.

Sweet deal. How'd you study? Did you buy any equipment? My studying's kinda stalled out because I'm wanting to buy a couple of switches and routers to do all the stuff for real. I'm not so sure GNS3 would be the best thing for me (plus the whole switching thing).

Didn't buy any equipment. Used Lammle's book, GNS3Vault (there's topics from the older CCNA version though) for labs and Packet Tracer for custom scenarios. Locating the correct GNS3 version to pair with labs found online was a chore. GNS3 Workbench is decent if you can spin up a Linux VM. I bought Chris Bryant's video series but found out that video learning doesn't work for me. His study guides are $10 for the pair and are basically what he goes through in his videos. I bought the one for ICND2 and it broke all the topics down really well. Labbing made everything click, so do that however you can.
