Hello nairalanders,

I'm currently doing my NYSC in Abj and will like to enter the ICT industry not minding my Bsc certificate.
I prefer networking to programming because i don't want to start writing codes, is CCNA a good course?

How marketable is the course in nigeria, can i get a job with just CCNA certification?
What's the estimated salary for a CCNA
Where is the best place i can take the course in abuja

Please help me with what you know thanks.

Mods help me push to the right place.

CCNA certification is the best in Networking. But when you advance in the field of networking you might have to upgrade to CCNE and CCNP.

CCNA is essentially an Associate level certification in Networking. The current base official certification material is about 2500+ pages of reading in 2 books. Assuming you have a computer science first degree, let's call that a 10% level readiness for the exam objectives.

Can you get a job? Yes
Estimated salary? No idea in Nigeria. But a CCNA holder can expect at least 50k dollars per year in the US.

For the programming aspect...Better you start learning one. No use running away from it as the exam objectives has Automation and Programmability that'll be in effect from 24 Feb 2020.
