Advantages: I got it for free
Disadvantages: extra work if a student
I am currently studying this course on top of my A-levels and have found it to be very beneficial in my aspirations of moving into a career within computing.
The possible degree I wish to take is perhaps in this line of work or similar so I have found this course to be a good foundation to the networking aspect of this. It has also helped me very much in getting to know my computer and how basic networks are formed and how they work.
At this moment in time, I am currently about to start the second semester after successfully completing the first semester recently.
The course involves logging into their website and working on the curriculum which is supplied to you in a number of easy to use pages and pictures to explain the basics in networking.
Each chapter consists of about 30/40 pages of information which you must take in before taking a test for that chapter. I usually read through each chapter once or twice depending on the difficulty level of the chapter. After this you have the opportunity to go through a small quiz which tests some of the information you have learned in the chapter.
I have not found the course to be to hard and strenuous but it is not an easy course at all. It takes a lot of time and you need to have a computing mind to understand some of the concepts.
The questions asked in the test are not especially difficult and are multi-choice with four options of which only one will be right. Some of the practical work you will do if you take the course requires a mind for problem solving and can get tricky and frustrating at first.
Most major companies accept the CCNA qualification today as I have found out and it would be an excellent start to anybody who is interested in networking careers. Also smaller intensive courses are available from Cisco such as the ICND which is over a short period but is also helpful in learning about the course.
If you are going to take
this course good luck in passing as it will be worth it in the end.

- 04/09/01 Im due to complete the CCNA in the next few weeks which I have been working on since October 00. Just to let you know, 'Opinionated' was right. Over the past year, the question syntax has been changing and becoming more obscure. It's getting harder! |

- 27/03/01 I've just done the CCNA. The exam was easy compared to the Microsoft ones in my opinion as the questions were less obscure but be warned - that might change. The CompTIA network + qualification has just been made harder. |
