I have the opportunity to do CCNA 1-4 plus maybe either the first security course or the first VoIP course for free
Are they worth the time? Somebody of you have them?

If you wanna work at cisco's
Worth it if you work in an IT position where you touch networks.
How much it helps you will be dependent on
1. if you want to learn routers/switches, firewalls or whatever
2. HR for the jobs you want believes its important

If you wanna work at Cisco, you gotta pass a CCIE written exam withing six months (at least it used to be like that).

Cisco academy is not vendor specific anon.
OP here
>>52237757
is right, it is "only" a certificate, but it is not necessarily recognized worldwide.
Thing is, I can do this at uni and it is not my main subject but I'm interested in these things and I think that networks and the knowledge to harden them (possibly) could be a nice side ability for jobs
I to am interested in cisco
If i go for my CCIE. Would it be better to go for security or routing and switching?

it would be better to go fuck yourself pleb
Just got into intro to networks class. What should i expect?
Also theres only 1 indian in the class.
Software specific certifications are trash

at my job it helps with testing anything that requires cisco networks
>>52237499
I am CCNA certified and it's worth it if you know nothing about networking
