CCNA or MCSE?

[digitalwolf]

I haven't done any qualifications for nearly two years and it's time to get stuck into something.

I have got my MCDST, A+ and N+ . Work have got MCSA planned for me sometime next year but I am itching to get stuck into something now.

I have seen the CCNA at my local college for £1200, four week course.

Is this the going rate?

Do you recommend CCNA over MCSE? I want to go into Networking

The only issue I have with MCSE is the ammount of exams and the fact I would need time off work.

CCNA can be done in four weeks.

Do any training companies do a "boot camp" like course where you can do it quickly?

Is college the best method of completing these courses or is there a better route?

I do like the sound of being an architect but I would need to experience both job roles. At the moment a server manager/technician role is not appealing.

In all honesty, without sounding big headed, my knowledge on internet connections is spot on, so the infrastructure side of things is very appealing.

The work doesn't bother me, the time it's going to take does.

I will be doing this off my own back, funded by myself and if it's a 9-5 course I would need time off work.
