Where to start, what to do!

[Deleted User 234324]

Hiya peeps, I currently work as an IT administrator for a large charity, although only manage 3 brances consisting of ~50 pc's in total, Im looking to further my career and go into network security but not sure on where to start and more importantly the costs.

Anyone have any suggestions ?

Besides my college qualifications which are over a decade old now (btec advanced in IT), i have no other "IT" qualifications, just 4 years experience running the networks for citizens advice in our area, the networks are pretty simple though.

Dont mind paying for it myself though.
