Network+ vs CCNA: Which is the Right Choice for You?

In this video, we're going to compare Network+ and CCNA so you can decide which one is the right choice for you.

Network+ is a popular certification program that covers a broad range of networking topics. CCNA is a more specific certification that covers the basics of network administration.

With so many options available, it can be hard to decide which certification is right for you. In this video, we'll compare Network+ and CCNA and help you decide which one is the best fit for your needs.

If you planning on becoming a Sysadmin or Cloud Engineer a Network+ is all you really need and no other networking training beyound that. Although there are plenty of Cisco Network Engineer jobs out there, the amount of Cloud jobs appears to out number the Networking field given that industry shift to the cloud. As Cisco streadily declines, i think networking in the Cloud is a better future outlook. Everything is becoming more automated esp with DevOps IaC tools meaning Cisco hardware becomes less relevant.

If you're confident enough to take the CCNA, skip the Network+ as it is eclipsed by the CCNA from a resume standpoint. As someone who has earned both through college curriculum, the Network + study process indeed helped me prepare for the CCNA and is worth going through to prepare for CCNA if you are a complete beginner. But now that I've gone through that process I will likely not renew Network + and will just keep CCNA updated in order to keep my resume fresh.

I already got my net+ and taking my CCNA a week and a half from now. I think its fair to both certs you say they are beginner certs. But they sure as hell don't seem like it. Net+ was a very hard test. Don't undersell it.

Seeing as you asked, one suggestion for improvement is to move the mic a little lower so we can see your full face and expressions. I love video time stamps as well, if you have the time to add them.

This is simple. Under no circumstances should anyone ever get the Net+. Especially over the CCNA.

Improve the energy you speak like if u just woke up from sleep! you think while you're talking and that makes people who need quick info bored as hell! work on your audio better the sound is weird! not full enough, leave time stamps so if i don't need to listen to extra things i don't care about i don't have to be looking for what i need back in forth in the video! start with fixing these things then if you ask people for a sub or a like it'll be more appropriate bro!
