Hello!
Just an opinion question. I have just completed my CCNA 1.0, by studying
several sources for the CCNA 1.0 exam, as well as sitting the ICND course.
I wrote the CCNA 1.0 exam a week ago today, and passed with a score of 897.
My dilemma now, is that I have a $2500 training credit with my school (they
cancelled my ASE training, and gave me $2500 credit), and I am trying to
decide how to best spend it. I want to take further Cisco training, but am
not sure whether to take the ACRC course, and write the exam.. to pass it,
and continue for CCNP 1.0, or if I am properly prepared to take the BCMSN
course, for CCNP 2.0.
I am trying my best, to give this institute the smallest amount of money as
possible, and do my other training directly through GeoTrain/GKN. ACRC will
cost me $2495CDN, BCMSN is $2895CDN, so it would be an addition $400 out of
my pocket, which I don't particularly have, but it can be dealt with if the
course is really that much better. For people that have done these courses,
which is the next logical step? Continue with my Router training, or jump
into Switch config?
If it helps, here is my score breakdown for the CCNA exam :
OSI Reference : 85%
WAN Protocols : 78%
Cisco IOS : 92%
Network Protocols : 86%
Routing : 83%
Network Security : 60% (access-lists I'd imagine, I know i need to
brush up on this)
LAN Switching :100%
Overall : 897 / 1000
Whichever I decide to take, I will be preparing for both with time, doing my
best to pass the CCNP exams before retirement July 31.. BCMSN is in town
June 19-23, ACRC would be July 10-14.. in which case I would be spending the
time studying CLSC, and CMTD.
Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated, both here in the
list, and/or my private inbox.
Regards,
Trevor Corness, MCP+Internet MCSE CCNA
