Hi all, I'm wondering if some of you guys can give me a little advice ![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)
Have just turned 33 and come to a bit of a crunch point in my life & found I want a bit of a career change - Specifically into the realm of Network Engineering. I have a lot of general experience with computers (and an HND from my previous life) so I know my way around a keyboard/hardware as such. I do realise this might not count for much in such a specific role but I'm guessing it can't hurt![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/wink.gif)
Have found that a Cisco CCNA is probably the best start-off point and my local (Staffordshire) Uni run a course Sept-May which I can get on np but I'm eager to start! I was maybe thinking of doing an online CCNA course (or similar) over the next 9 weeks and then try to hop onto the CCNP course that the Uni will also start in Sept (I can spare approx 20-22 hours per week)
Although I've done a search in this forum for Cisco-related stuff & picked-up some bits & bobs I'd appreciate any additional advice you guys experienced with this stuff can give![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)
thanks
