ok thanks will have a look at that. Yeh ive been having a look around, but i'm still stuck between networking and sound engineering/live events engineer

I wouldn't worry too much, at the top end of live events theres a huge amount of networking involved!

We've worked with the people who provide comms for glastonbury etc, it's interesting stuff.

Nah you don't need any programming or coding experience, just the ability to not get overwhelmed by a command line interface.

You can comfortably learn the CCNA in a month or so, I've never actually recommended a course as such, just home-study and take the exam with your nearest exam centre.

A month? That's a bit optimistic for a novice. 4-6 months if you buckle down and work at it.

A month would be fine if you had done networking before and were just converting to use Cisco as a brand. But the underlying concepts will take a while to bed in and practice. I've seen people take longer than that just to get the hang of deriving subnets.

i usually pick up stuff to do with this fairly quickly and dont tend to forget it easily

(wish i could say the same for all my gcse subjects
