Okay just done my retake of CCNA 1 at uni on Monday and got 64% now the uni only want 40% but Cisco want 70%+
I'm a tad annoyed as i got 98% in my skills test, and over 70% on the online modules...

Anyway to the point do i need CCNA to get a job after uni; I'm doing the network computing BSc and i will have a year in industry in the 3rd year. Will that alone be enough to get me a job then they will put me through Cisco again or is it essential.
The job i would love at the end of this is to be a network annalist (similar to system annalist)
So what do you guy who work in the industry think?

Over to you...
 
Cisco don't care what you get for the CCNA 1 exam. All they care about is what you get in your INTRO and ICND exams (or the combined one, I forget what it's called). The Cisco academy program is completely separate from the actual CCNA certification. Completing the academy program does not get you a CCNA. It's just a way to prepare you for the proper certification exams. So no one really cares if you only got 64% in an academy exam, you can still take the certification exams.

That has confused the hell out of me?!? Is that saying that the academy is useless as a qualification?

Also I'm still unsure if a job is out the question without it?

Is it almost essential to have it? Cause as far as i have been told once you have done it once thats it!
I have had two attempts at CCNA 1 on the academy, so is that it now?

If not where do i go from here?
 
right well that solves that then, i think that i will be able to do those so should be okay.
I'll check with me lecturer tomorrow.
Cheers for the reassurance :D
