Thanks James for this!! You really are the first person to thoroughly explain the difference between Network+ vs CCNA. I’m now studying for Network+ and was thinking how do I setup a VLAN, how do I configure this, etc.. and you explained that CCNA teaches you. Haven’t heard anyone else state this in their videos!

Correct! accurate information, especially in regards to the difficulty delta between the two exams. Cisco is the benchmark and all other vendors us the same cli commands, with the exception of Juniper which requires "commit" to confirm commands. Vendor specific is always more appealing to hiring managers than broad vendor neutral offerings. CompTIA exams are designed to be a low barrier to entry, theory only exams. Sec+ is useful as a DoD requirement.

I got my A+ and my boss recommended the network+ next so i have been studying it for a while but with such thory heavy stuff, i feel like i haven't been able to grasp it as well so i started looking to packet tracer labs to see how it works and i found jeremys it labs. Got the udemy CCNA cus it was cheap and now i think im gonna oivot becasue i have learned more with the labs understanding network topics through configuration than i ever did with network+

CCNA is mandatory to be able to apply for some network engineers jobs in my state. Both CCNA and Sec+

I haven't taken A+ but I have taken Sec+ and studied for ccna. In my experience the CCNA is extremely practical and hands on while comptia is very conceptual. Ive heard people say you can take an A+ or network+ course just to prepare for ccna and that seems true. Regaurdless you learn most of the fundamentals in ccna and can do it with no experience. Most classes do move extremely fast for someone with no experience but they do cover everything even for complete beginners.

Honestly I have a Network+. The advice that HR always views CCNA better is not true. For example Network+ is DoD complaint ANSI accredited and covers important learning concepts such as DNS and DHCP (hint hint) to a depth that CCNA does not [from my friends who have taken it.] Anecdotally I have landed a job with this cert!!!

[michaelanderson]

Ccna is not entey level cert but a very good network cert start net+ first then go from there

[erikgarcia]

Can you do a video explaining route filtering.ACL, pre-fix list and routes maps 🙏🙏🙏

I’m trying to join your discord but I can’t ? Says it’s expired

[jlprescott]

Network+ is a useless cert. CCNA carry’s some value proving that you have the hands -on to configure. The Network+ is just theory. Cheers!

Im trying to land my first job in IT in order to build some experience in an IT role and transfer into Cyber security or Networking. I have the Google IT support and Cyber certificate should I go for the NETWORK+ SEC+ or the A+? Kind of confused what the best route would be to land a decent paying first IT role!! Any suggestions from people with experience in IT would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! BEST of LUCK to EVERYONE!!
