O0o0h i see someone wants a career in networks and networking, Thats excellent man .. :X
Which course are you doing or want to take?
CCNA 1? Networking Basics.
CCNA 2? The Routers and Routing Basics course?
CCNA 3? Switching Basics and Intermediate Routing?
CCNA 4? a Networking Basics course >> The last course including Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification.?
^ I would say CCNA1 is the easiest cause it's the first course which introduces Cisco Networking Academy Program to the networking field! But don't ask it guess harder and harder!
Also this time if you've started doing it and the dropped out now they will mix the old courses along with the new ones so it'll be alright, but i say WORTH IT! .. Also soo unfair it will be allowed to take the ICND1 instead of the INTRO, and ICND2 instead of ICND, to complete the training of cCNA!!.
Can i ask are you working with little network or wnat to in future? BUT REMEMBER CISCO CCNA will be easier for you if ya think CCNA is hard!
i would say after working that hard for it a big YES!
Whoa sis Kittygyal, did not know you was into Networking as well (masha'Allah)
and unless i am much mistaken, i will be doing all 4 of them :|
i dont know about ICND what is that?
and im thinking of working in networking in the future Insha'Allah
Thank you for the encouragement and the reply sister, better than what i was hoping for
Don't ask brother
To get certificate then yes you have to do all four. I will stress again to you brother you will find it hard but this is better than just CCNA because thats way hard, and people who do Cisco CCNA are the ones who are doing an easier level to push there self to achieve the aspirational for the CCNA Certificate which i will cry out loud you have to do ALL foru courses bro.. very hard but trust WORTH IT.
Also CCNA 4 focuses a lot on advanced all this includes:
Network Address Translation (Which is the easiest bit), Port Address Translation and DHCP, WAN technology and terminology, PPP, ISDN, DDR, Frame Relay, network management (i love that) and also introduction to optical networking which was soo boring put me to bed then at last when i ahd to do it i found it hard! Serve me right cause i learnt my lesson!.
Remember: Always focus at all times, if you feel sleepy (like i did) then always take a water bottle and drink as much!.
Btw these course economic and business development so there really good and if you have the skills then i must say it will be truley easy! and if your good at IT then you can go for it TRUST!..
Oh man i wish i never said anything about ICND... :grumbling You don't need to focus on that yet im sowiee bro im jumping to conclusion!
Just a brief note because you will want to know so might aswel tell ya now ... They have
different courses like theres different courses CCNA1, CCNA2,CCNA3,CCNA4... same goes for ICND ... The ICND1 is a training course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot it's more of a small branch office Enterprise network that includes configuring a switch,a router, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. Passing the exam associated with this course results in the award of the (CCENT) which is Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician certification if you don't know that. Also his course along with ICND2 are the recommended training courses for obtaining CCNA certification. Also thats way complicatiog for you brother.
Oh! Cisco is awesome! I did CCNA about 3-4 years ago, some parts were tough, and you won't always understand certain concepts first time round, but just stick to it inshaa'Allah.
First semester (CCNA1) is easy! Second (CCNA2) is not too bad. Hard work starts at semester 3 (CCNA3)!
Don't get put off from doing it though, even if you finish up to CCNA2, that's really good. A lot of companies that train employees with cisco, only train them up to CCNA2 anyway.
Is this something free your college is offering? Or you doing it at uni?
Salamualikum.
^ Oh another person who's into networks and networking :X Masha'Allaah...
The course is excellent and hard at times, but tell me whats not hard?
It's all about struggling and achieving your aspirational.
If your college is offering you for free then your lucky, but if your going towards Uni then i suggest it will cost kinda A lot of money but ask permission first from parents.. If your going to go for it i would recommend you do all the course and get your certificate.
In Westmisinter Uni you can do it to CCNA4 i think
It seems hard but it isn't... Bro Far7an how can you not say CCNA4 is not easy :confused: , that is well easy it is the last course which sums it all up.. Also as i mentioned in my previous post CCNA4 focuses a lot on advanced which includes Network Address Translation (Which is the easiest bit), Port Address Translation and DHCP, WAN technology and terminology, PPP, ISDN, DDR, Frame Relay, network management (i love that) and also introduction to optical networking which was soo boring put me to bed then at last when i ahd to do it i found it hard! Serve me right cause i learnt my lesson!.
One of my friends take it. and she said that they took the exames online and it is all about basic in the networking protocols
In sha allah I will take it this semester
i dont know much about cisco, but i know someone who worked with them / studied with them and did really well... from my understanding getting into networking has good prospects/good money.
i hope whatever you do you will be successful inshallah. Good luck!
Hey Kittygyal i didnt know you liked networking.. nice to hear a sister is into the technical bits of computing.. i did i module which involved Networks ..i found it challenging.. i hope this year will be easier inshallah
