Best of luck for everyone. Get into your first role and get your CCNP asap. It will open a lot more doors.

i took David bombal CCNA i have completed that course and did a lot of labs, my question is it necessary that i need to attend the exam because that cost of it too high according top our currency or should i do any help desk IT job and after i can atttend it
and other thing is that official cert guides are necessary or should i choose cisco docs for more information

[johnlj_ciscocertified]

‏Is this certification only for network engineers?s
‏I am an architectural engineer, but I love technology specialties and enjoy learning them. Can it benefit me
?

Heyy I am Dyavanapelli Sujal, currently pursuing my engineering in computer science . I am in 2nd year of my graduation . I have got a strong foundation of networking and linux but I haven't done any certifications though . As a second year engineering student should I need to get my certification to get a internship as a network engineer or system administrator?? Or do the certification after my graduation.

[AkshayKumar-ohhj]

Hey hi. I dont have degree but have basic knowledge regarding networks. Is this certificate gonna help me?

[saishrvnk]

hey Gerard, this is Sai from India currently I'm doing my bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity engineering (1st year). I don't really have much knowledge .I studied basics of networks in my school, can I take CCNA as my first step into this ?? or is there anything that you would suggest to me

[saranshsd]

I have a degree on humanities. No tech background. Currently preparing for CCNA certification. Will there be jobs for me?

[patanahmadkhan]

Hii Mr.Gerard Hope this comment finds well as u mentione cloud and network are separate domains as i kick start my carrier as a network engineer or system administrator yeah i am talking non coding work it is worth in future carrier opportunities and if u have time please clear me with real example difference with cloud vs CCNA, CCNP certifications

[mikeyd]

hey i came across ur video looking for this answer lol; i am doing IR/CSIRT as a 3 YOE working as cyber security consultant at a big4 straight out of college. i be honest my networking is bunch of bullshit/weak and I focus as a SIEM engineer I guess for clients?

My question is: Do u recommend studying for CCNA to get a strong, generic network foundation for cybersecurity BUT do not take the exam? Or if u know a better resource to undersatnd networking at a deeper level. I have 0 intent to actually buy the cert because it just seems too stressful for me lol. I would like a deeper network foundation than the basics of what Network+ teaches I guess.

thanks mate

Hey,

Hope you're doing well! I've been following your YouTube channel and LinkedIn posts, and I'm really impressed by your knowledge in cybersecurity.

I'm thinking of switching careers to cybersecurity, even though I don't have any IT experience. It feels like a big step, but I'm excited to learn and grow in this field.

I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to get started. What should I focus on learning first? Any beginner-friendly resources you'd recommend?

as Cisco recemtly launched CCST as well . do i need to go with CCNA or CCST ?

Your insights would mean a lot to me as I take this leap into the world of cybersecurity.

Thanks a bunch,
Muhammad.

Hi, Can I get any role in Cloud just After Pursuing Bachelor of engineering

[lavdritnuhiu]

Hi Gerard, thanks for your motivational videos. Can you become a succsseful network administrator by learning and passing CCNA, when you actually have only a very basic knowledge with pc and it in general. Thank you.

[AJBerry-oxoe]

I just passed the Security Plus, last month. Is it recommended to take the CCNA? Or, what that be considered a "step backwards"?

[PeetiePeete]

If people are saying that the CCNA route isn't particularly worth going into, are there any different platforms/skillsets that they recommend someone to explore that is not Cisco related but requires about the same level of effort and brainpower as getting a CCNA/CCNP?

[safeerasif]

Is ccna a good option for someone aiming to go into cyber security space

[harryjohnson]

Doesn't matter what role you're applying for CCNA is a measure of a minimum standard requiring commitment and hard work. CCNA might not get you that job but it certainly raises your profile.

[suffinop]

Should I do CCNA or AWS
Is CCNA good in upcoming years....I heard AWS is growing
So what is your suggestion?

[ShahamAhmedKhan]

I am a Telecommunications Engineering student and I am in my final year. I have summer vacations of 3 months and I was aiming for CCNA but I came across many videos and posts that it is not worth it. I found your video in the process of searching for more information on this. I am still not sure about it and I want your advice on whether to pursue it or not?

There’s a lot of ai developers telling the world most white collar jobs will be automated in the next five years. Do I begin this journey today if in three years when I’ve cut my teeth on help desk, and am ready to start my first Network Engineer job, I find most elements aside from setting up the hardware have been automated. A lot of effort to put in the evenings after working at my current job for potentially no gain. Do people in the field talk about what’s coming with ai? In all seriousness wouldn’t be more beneficial to train to be an electrician in this day and age?
