I'm a Cisco certified networking professional in routing and switching and I created this thread to help up coming professionals and share our experiences both in the office and in the field.

I'm also here to guide those on certification track. Ask me any question on the issues you've encountered in your field and it will be answered.

i'm intrested in networking, How much does it cost to be certified ? i went out yesterday to make enquiry but wasn't impress at all by what i got, so would you recommend i learn from a big ICT firm or any computer school for my certification? i learnt the certification is like an accounting graduate without ICAN.

Certifition is a must if you must excel in this field. You can start with ccna. You can learn on your own like I did initially but if you want to have experience you need to get out there and get your hand dirty. You can play around this site www.9tut.com alongside your cisco packet tracer or gns3. The certification is a bit costly and you might not afford to fail. Computer school will be better, that's where they will give you the attention you deserve.

kindly recommend a school and their Package . the best among I have lost several offer because of this certifications and the experience.

Aptech is good and they'll probably be in most of the major cities in naija. For the certification track, the first step is to get ccna or better still ICND 1&2 which is a long road to ccna for those that wants to take things bit by bit. But I recommend ccna. I know you can pass it if you want. Hope your questions were answered?
