    A+ and N+

    started ICDN1 for CCENT
    Aiming for CCNA through ICND2 after that.

    will move onto an MCSA or MCITP after that.

    iv also had my eye on an Apple technicians course.

    I find it hard when i dont work in this area to keep me up to speed with stuff and i cant get a job without 3 years experience :(

    Iv been looking for Comp Sci courses but cant find any in waterford, travelling not an option.

    Any ideas on what courses would help me get a job quicker without all the experience needed?

    Just passed CCNA yesterday. Took a long time on one of the SIMs and ended up having to fly through the second half of the exam.
    So I have MCSA 2003 in messaging and CCNA now.
    Missed out on my chance for the 2003 to 2008 upgrade exam, as they phased it out a few months ago (boo). I failed it twice but didn't prepare well either time. Might just give up on the MS ones now, as I would have to start from scratch with the 2008 ones.

    Next up CCNA security, then CCNP Security

    Jesus, You lot put me too shame I only have the Comptia N+ ,A+ and half a MCSA(will pass the other part soon enough fingers crossed).How long did it take you too acquire all them certs?Very impressive none the less.

    I'm working in tech support the past 6 months and will start looking for a new job around july 2014 when i hopefully have 1 or 2 more certs.Do you think with about 5 certs and over a years experience in tech support id stand a chance getting a level 2 support job or something along them lines??

    Hi,

    Have the CCNA, doing CCNA Security to renew CCNA aswell.

    How did you find the CCNA security exam and study? Decided to get CCNA sec as it doesn't take long to learn and is suppose to be an "easier" exam to pass

    Hi Guys n Gals,

    I've 4 MCP's
    70-270 - XP Pro
    70-290 - Server 2k3
    70-284 - Exchange 2k3

    This is funny I've not looked at this thread in a really long time.

    I've got 15 MCP's now and 15 years experience, including consulting and global experience.
    If you've got a MCSA or MCSE you should be working on the Azure exams or other cloud equivalents.. in 4 years time you'll thank me!

    Decided to give up on individual certs and get a degree, to much time and money keeping track and renewing all these certs. Hope to move into engineering on the back of the degree.

    Fair play getting 15 of them under your belt Jaoibh!

    Hi All,

    I've been working full time in the IT industry for about 20 years. I've worked across a number of organisations and industries mainly in support type roles - sys admin - working with AD, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Windows/Linux server, data centre work, monitoring, Exchange, backup, VMware, etc. I have BSC honours IT degree.

    I'm on the lookout jobs wise and think I could really benefit from some certification(s). I'm currently running through CCNA 200-301 course on udemy - very good and planning to take some practice exams soon and then go for it. I think it would be a good basis to start with (I should have done this years ago!). I'm thinking next something along the lines of Security/Cloud certification. Could anybody make any good suggestions for good qualifications in this area both to increase my knowledge and help me make the move in my career.

    Thank you

    With that experience you should be able to fly through most exams.
    I'd go the AWS Architect route if I was you.
