im applying for a software tester apprenticeship, its 1 year.
trash or worth my time considering i have no qualifications other than an A-Level
Where do you learn CCNP from? I've read some reviews, it seems like official cisco cert books are shit for CCNP, unlike CCNA

None, taking the ICND1 (cent) in 2 weeks and then I'll be taking the 2nd half of the A+ a couple weeks after that. Really wish I hadn't wasted money on that cert. I'm also working towards a college degree in networking / system administration
>How did you find/get job
old supervisor from this fuckhole help desk call center I used to work for moves over to this company. Helped a friend of mine get a job who helped me get a job in turn. We live in a tight knit community
>Pay
12$/hr not bad for having no experience, no education, and they work so well with my school you'd think it was an internship

Western Hemisphere is the most specific I'm willing to get on 5chin.

I'm not sure how different A+ is now, I took 601/602. First part was easy, mainly technical. Second was knowing some concepts and scenarios as a technician. Basically the answers on the scenarios were "What should you do" not what you'd really do.
Net+ was kinda easy. Know protocols and port numbers.
Test dumps could help you pass, but its not really ethical. Learn the concepts of the tech, that way the information makes sense. Helps you eliminate unlikely answers when taking the test. I'm sure there's some free resources online, especially YouTube...
