I completed CCNA and am trying to break into the networking field without a traditional tech background.

Looking at job postings, it seems CCNA alone isn’t enough to land a job.

For those already working in networking, what would you recommend learning next? CCNP, Linux, Python, cloud networking (AWS/Azure), or something else?

If you were starting today with CCNA and no networking experience, what path would you take to land your first job?

I’d appreciate any practical advice. Thanks!

Started studying for the CCNA recently, and I'm trying something different. I'm building a free CCNA course as I learn it.

Every topic I study becomes:
📖 A theory page in my own words
🧪 A hands-on Cisco Packet Tracer lab
❓ Auto-graded quiz questions I'd want to be asked

Module 1 (Network Fundamentals) is live:
→ OSI & TCP/IP models
→ IPv4 addressing & subnetting
→ Building your first routed network in Packet Tracer
→ 20-question quiz with explanations for every answer

Modules 2-6 will follow as I work through them. 🚀
