I am moving to networking field now after over 3 years experience in programming. I planned on having these certifications in few months

CCNA and CCNP Routing and Switching

CCNA and CCNP Security

Juniper (JUNOS, JNCIA and JNCIP Security)

Fortinet (FNCSA and FNCSP Security).

Total of 14 certifications.

With these a friend told me i could get a good job in Dubai. After that i will move to CCIE InshaAllah.

I will keep you updated.

Just passed the Fortinet FNCSA and FNCSP.

Next is cisco. I will start writing fully after ramadan. 12 exams within 2 months. I love challenge and i am enjoying it,

where are you currently working ?

I'm afraid I don't think I can help with that, bro.

Eddodoh:

Thank you!!! Wat opportunities are open to me wit skill in CISCO?

Are you kidding ? All these certs within 12 months ? I wouldn't advice you to do so because believe it or not, that's a big BRANNDUMPING. And no, with anything you could get a job anywhere, it depends on what the company requires. All these certs within a short duration is not impossible but an HR would think a lot more than twice before hiring such a candidate. These are technical certs and certs doesn't even guarantee you a job, it just gets you through the door to an HR. Don't rush it, start gradually. Believe me, you'll understand when you're halfway through CCNA R&S. I once had a friend who said the same thing - I want to do it all in a year CCNA - CCNP - CCIE. Let's just say after a study hours on CCNA, he dropped it. Don't do it for the sake of the certs, do it for the knowledge.

Hey Eddodoh,

Welcome! Cisco is a lovely journey to embark on. Do some research online most especially the basics and fundamentals. See if this is the right path for you to take. Remember, don't just think about the pay.

Eddodoh:

I find dis useful. I am not IT savvy, actually studied Cooperative Econs & presently work as a call center agent. Recently, i av bin thinkin of ways to chart a career path as i dnt really see my present job as a career.

I av bin in talks wit some on training i can do to chart a career. I met wit som1 in an IT firm who suggested i do CISCO & have bin considering making payment until i come across dis thread.

AweEngineer:

Thanks for the concern. I started studying for Cisco CCNA since march 2015 and I know I understand the concept very well. I try to study 12 hours in a day with the best video tutorial (CBT NUGGETS) and I have watch almost all the certification videos

For me, i just need to re watch it, revise some basic concepts then write the exams. I probably know my programming background has really help me cos I learnt to watch long hours of videos and the power of google search with programming.

I try to do practical with packet tracer and GNS3. For me, CCIE LAB is the main challenge in networking. Thats when I know I must have good experience with Live networking equipment not simulation.

And Job I have a friend in Dubai who hopefully promise to fix me up. I just pray I get good job to finance my web startups.

And the main hindrance in achieving CCIE and other top certification is time. For instance a person working full time job in Lagos might not have mor than 12 hours study time in a week. That means what he can achieve in networking certifications in a year might be equal to approximately 2 months with me who have do it full time and have about 12 hours of study during the day

i still think you take things slow and steady.



I think Experience takes a big part in your job hunt, within the IT/TELECOM Industry.

OK. I think you're good to go. Since you come from a programming background, the kickoff would be a very smooth one.. but what I do not really find smooth is your friend in Dubai promising to fix you up. I am not sure how that works but I don't think anyone can make such a promise. Again, it depends

Well, CCIE isn't childs play. People study years and years for it and noone hires a CCIE without on-the-job experience. I still think you should settle down at CCNP for sometime.. after working a few years then head for CCIE.

am currently studying for my ccna . And am using INE videos, and am quiet cool with it..


If you do wana send me your copy, here is my mail


awe.engineer212@gmail.com


thanks.
Warm regards.

I'm sorry but I will not entertain such ideas on this thread. This tutors worked hard to come up with this Videos. Believe me it's not easy and I don't think they'll be happy seeing this from people who are studying to certify themselves. Please refrain from such idea as it is piracy and just so you know, Cisco is really grumpy about such. It could land you a life-ban.

If you don't believe me, I can show you a post on which Narbik reported someone sharing his workbook on Facebook.

Could you advise on subsidised rates...

There are so many out there. INE offers a great discount on their yearly training videos and CBT Nuggets does the same. These are quite pricy for an average individual though

i quiet agree with you, but thats not always true all the time, because tutors have their different motives why they do video tutorial. In my quest to get a self based tutorial, i meet several Author whose aim was to teach aspirant through their free video tutorial { eg search EMRAN CCNA on youtube}. Please dont generalise because of a scenario.






Thats always true for most cases but not true for all case.






Secondly, i am not financially bouyant, just have to do with the Free Training Available(Authors motive(free video) to empower people like me), what i can afford is my time and brain, do you expect me to sit back due to my financial situation, i just have to do with what i find available.


Thanks.
Warm Regards.

I wouldn't mind laying my hands on the new 300-115. I assume the size should be over 500mb, but if by any chance you already have it on cloud, kinldy assist with link or burn into DVD's. Thanks for helping a friend. Also am located in Portharcourt if by chance your close to PH.

Hi,
Are you familiar with Cisco concepts or anything about Networking ? Do you have a reliable internet good enough for video chat sessions ??

Yep, sorry for the very very late response

I need a job I am a graduate of computer science with ccna, ccnp(route),project management certificate or a guide Hw to get a job i hv one year of experience has an IT personnel u can contact me whatsapp or call 08184179764 or damoetic3604real@yahoo.com pls help ur broda I beg oooo

There are thousands of free tutorials on YouTube but those ones wouldn't teach as those who do it for a living. You cant tell me those Instructors are as better as Cisco Certified and Recommended Instructors. And yes, those tutors did it because they are willing to help others. The other videos (INE and CBT) are copyrighted, you are not allowed to share them and even if you do, it's illegal.

I understand you're not financially buoyant but you're investing in your future and career. So do what you feel is right for you. You never know who is sniffing around. If someone gets a hold of your name and ID and report it, you would get a total life-ban and that's Cisco for you. It's serious.
The INE videos you're probably talking about must have been recorded by Brian and I know him, well not on a personal level but I know how hard it is to record long minutes of videos. How do you think this same individual would feel if he finds out the countless numbers of hours he spent recording those clips didn't really pay off because it was being distributed freely on a forum?

And to be honest, most people who study for CCNA wouldn't want to spend hundreds and thousands dollars for it, most especially someone from Nigeria when everything dey computer village. If you've got a good internet access, YouTube is even more than enough. There are hundreds of it, you go watch you go tire lol.

All the best on your cert exams.
