 |  In what order should someone get their certifications? I'm going after my A+ and my Net+. followed by some microsoft certs, and then sisco. Is this the order I should be persuing them? If not, then in which order?

| Well, I got my N+ 3 weeks and now I am waiting for my A+ books.. planing for N+ and A+ as entry level certs. Then I guess I will go for CCNA or MCSA/MCSE dunno yet. The reason for this confusion is that the choice between CCNA/MCSE is that it indicates your future path. if u do CCNA. you'll go into routing, networking etc, on the other hand MCSE and MCSA are more into administration. The good news is that you can combine both certs (CCNA and MCSE/MCSA) which is the best !! Last, MCSE take a lot of time.. I mean it has about 9 courses (correct me if I am wrong). MCSA has 4 courses (u can have N+ and A+ as a course), so if u have A+ AND N+ you will have 3 more courses to complete in order to get your MCSA. CCNA take less time. that's all ! take care ! |

 | I'd say youre doing it the right way. The A+ will give you the basics of computing, the network+ will give you the basics of networking. Following it up with the MCSE will tie those two together. Whereas Cisco is a whole different ballpark. I've already got my A+ and Network+ and im doing my MCSE then my Cisco.

| SISCO? he he he (sorry about that) start with A+ then Net+ then MCSE (configuring LAN/MAN) at last, go for Cisco, as its related to WAN. and thereafter, CCNP, CCIE and money money money.....
