CCNA Passers: Any Tips, Advice, and Study Strategies?

Hi sa mga nakapasa na sa CCNA exam!

I’m currently preparing for the CCNA and would love to hear from those who have already passed.

A few questions:

* What topics should I focus on the most?
* Which exam objectives appeared most frequently?
* Were there any topics you wish you had studied more?
* What study resources helped you the most?
* Any tips or mistakes to avoid during preparation and on exam day?

I’d really appreciate any advice or study strategies you can share.

Thank you so much🙏

Should I take the CCNA before graduating, or wait until I have job experience?

🎉🎉 Hi ! I'm a student graduating with an IT degree this August and I also have an opportunity to take the CCNA rn. My original plan was to take the exam before graduation, but now I'm wondering if it makes more sense to wait.

It seems the networking job market is very competitive, and many NOC or junior network-related roles ask for 2-3 years of experience. Since the CCNA is only valid for 3 years, I'm worried that if I earn it now, a large portion of its validity might be "used up" while I'm working in an entry-level IT role (help desk, desktop support, etc.) before I can realistically move into networking.

Would it be better to:

Take the CCNA now (in the hopes that it could actually get me into an entry-level 0 exp networking position)

or

Wait until I have around 1-2 years of IT experience so I can maximize the certification's active period?

😩😩😩

From Software Dev to Networking Engineer

Hi guys,

Recently nag re-org yung company namin at ako lang yung mag-isang natira sa previous Dev department namin.

My recent tasks were to scale down our infra due to costs, and ironically, doon biglang nag-spark ulit yung curiosity ko sa networking and its infrastructure paths.

Going full-blown AI slop na kasi yung management namin ngayon and shits really don't feel right to me anymore.

I think the ship is already sinking and I want to jump before it's too late.

The thing is di ko alam saan ako mag start, magstart ba ako sa boot camps? or self study? MNet? CCNA?

Anong mga leverage na meron ako coming from a Dev Role for 7 years? DevSecOps? Network Automation?

Saka kamusta yung market specially for career shifters? Are WFH arrangements rare?

Thanks

Ready-to-go, Browser based, gamified cisco CCNA labs

Hi Everyone,

Me and a small team of friends were fed up with how labs work on PT and Netsim,
we wanted an easier way where you just "learn" and it could work on mobile.

The project has grown a lot since then and its a pretty polished site now.

Totally free, nearly 100 labs, enjoy <3

1 week into transitioning from Helpdesk to Network Engineer… is this level of workload normal? 😅 (Update from my previous post)

Hey everyone,

​Quick update from my previous post about officially moving into the network team! I am exactly one week into the new role, and man, my brain is totally fried. Going from passwords and user tickets to enterprise infrastructure feels like drinking out of a firehose. On top of that, my calendar is packed with meetings all day long, and I'm still trying to squeeze in time to study my Jeremy's IT Lab course after hours.

​They already handed me the deliverables for our 2 new floors, and I’m expected to fully handle the project execution this upcoming July and August:

​Network as-built diagram, IP/VLAN plan, port map, & config backups

​Test results, implementation evidence, & CMDB record uploads

​Switches OS upgrade & Vulnerability scans

​Devices configuration change submit, Labeling, & DHCP Vlan Scope

​Design/validate network build for new floors (IP plan, VLANs, trunking, STP)

​Configure/stage switches and coordinate turn-up (fiber links between old - new floors)

​Ensure wireless readiness (SSIDs/security/AP connectivity)

​Execute network testing (LAN/Wi-Fi, VLAN reachability, redundancy) during cutover

​Provide all final network documentation updates

​Between meetings, they’re onboarding me onto daily operations and tools. It's a massive wave of

information:

​Monitoring: NetFlow, Kibana, Zabbix, and Scrutinizer.

​Daily Tasks: Config backups, OS upgrades, VPN setups, and tracking BGP routes.

Cloud: They've also started teaching me Azure cloud networking on top of everything else.

​Admin: Ticket handling, ISP vendor coordination, and ISP billing.

​I’m stoked to be here, but bouncing from calls straight into this checklist while navigating four new monitoring tools and trying to study makes me feel like I know nothing.

​Is it normal for a company to drop a full multi-floor buildout to be executed in the next two months, routing/ops, and four different monitoring tools on a fresh network engineer in their very first week?

Did anyone else feel completely underwater during their first few weeks out of helpdesk, or am I just in the deep end?

Is there any free certifications that helps to strengthen my Network Engineering path

I'm a incoming 4th year college student, and I'm really passionate in doing networking simulations and have willingness to learn. My downside is, I cannot afford paid certifications like CCNA and other network certifications.

Is there any free certifications that will help in my resume after I graduate. Also watching Jeremy's IT Lab free CCNA network course and also doing some simulations in GNS3 using different brands like Fortinet as firewall. Will learn next about using dockers.

Possible ba mapasa ko ang CCNA?

Hello im 18, planning to study para may foundation nako pag college na ako 28days before my college so 28days studying at study ulit hanggang matapos ang first year.

Which path is Good?

ECE gradz So my endgame is DevOps kaya lang di ko alam ano suno maganda ibuild up muna. My passion is Fullstack talaga pero gusto ko daanan yung Network Eng. so I'm taking CCNA just in case. Which is better, Fullstack or Network Eng.? Also maganda pa rin ba yung Network Eng. or Fullstack for stability at salary growth at pang abroad?
