it will help, but chances are you might have to start out in a lower crappy position and work your way up. cisco guys are not in demand as much as say a web developer. now there’s a skill that’s in demand.

The CCNA is the entry-level Cisco certification. It proves that you have the basic knowledge needed to configure Cisco routers and switches. Before taking the course you are expected to have a handle on the basics of networks and commonly used network protocols. You should have a basic understanding of the TCP/IP protocol suite and know how to subnet TCP/IP networks. You should also understand the basic purposes of routers and switches though you don’t need to know how to configure them.

If you don’t have the basics of networking under your belt, you should first work on the CompTIA Network + certification. Go here for information on that: http://www.comptia.org/certifications/listed/network.aspx . That will cover the basics of computer networking, common network protocols, subnetting TCP/IP, file sharing, permissions, and basic security standards of computer networks. Once you have that down, start on the CCNA.

If you want to work at Cisco, a CCIE is the only certification that they will consider as qualifying for employment in any technical position.

Question: how long is it from start to finsh to compleat an Cisco Networking- Network Administration course?

Answer:

Answer by Michael K
I go to a local technical institute and we cover a Cisco class that is supposed to get us the CCNA certification at the end of an 11 week quarter. We have a lot of hands on training and the classes are 4 hours long 3 days a week. While it doesn’t cover every single scenario, it gives you enough knowledge to know what you’re doing with the Cisco routers and when given a problem on the cert. test, you should have no problem answering them so long as you studied diligently during the quarter.
