Considering Cisco CCNA Retraining – News

March 25th, 2010 Jason Kendall

If Cisco training is your aspiration, but you’ve no practical experience with routers or network switches, the chances are your first course should be CCNA certification. This will give you the necessary skills to set up and maintain routers. The world wide web is built up of many routers, and big organisations with many locations also utilise routers to allow their networks to talk to each other.

It’s very probable you’ll get a job with an internet service provider or maybe a large company which is spread out over several locations but still wants internal communication. Both types of jobs command good salaries.

The CCNA qualification is the right level in this instance – don’t be cajoled into attempting your CCNP straight away. Once you’ve worked for a few years you will know if you need to train up to this level. If so, you’ll be much more capable to succeed at that stage – as your working knowledge will put everything into perspective.

Validated exam preparation packages are vital – and should definitely be supplied by your course provider.

Often students can get confused by practicing questions for their exams that aren’t from official sources. Quite often, the question formats and phraseology is startlingly different and you should be prepared for this.

Clearly, it’s very crucial to know that you are completely prepared for your actual certification exam before embarking on it. Rehearsing ‘mock’ tests adds to your knowledge bank and will avoid you getting frustrated with thwarted exam entries.

Many trainers still use a now out-dated method of training – classroom days. Very often portrayed as a huge benefit, after discussion with someone who has first-hand experience, you’ll hear a common theme of many or most of these problems:

* Many round journeys – usually hundreds of miles each and every time.

* If you’re working, then Mon-Fri events cause problems at work. You’re usually looking at 2-3 days at a time as well.

* Holiday days lost – many workers only have 20 days holiday. If half or more of that is used up by study classes, that isn’t going to leave much vacation time for students and their families.

* Workshops typically get bloated with students.

* Often attendees hope to push through at quite a pace, while others are looking to take a more ‘steady’ pace and want to set their own pace that fits. This will often generate difficulty and tension in most workshops.

* Quite a lot of trainees tell us of the considerable cost of getting to and from the training school while forking out for food and accommodation can get very expensive.

* You should never risk the possibility of letting yourself be side-stepped for potential advancement or wage increases because your employer knows you’re retraining.

* Many of us feel awkward about asking questions in a room full of our fellow students – as we don’t want to look silly.

* For students working away from home occasionally, you face the added difficulty that classes now become impossible to get to – unfortunately however, they’ve already been paid for.

It really does make a lot more sense to study when it’s convenient for you – not the company – and employ instructor-led videos with interactive lab’s.

Think… Using a laptop you can study in the garden, a park, or just outside. And live 24×7 support is just a web-browser away in case you get challenged.

Classes and lessons can be repeated at any time you need to brush up – repetition is good for memory. And there’s no need to take notes – everything’s provided.

Basically: Time and money is saved, you have reduced hassle and you altogether avoid killing more trees.
