can i be self taught CCNA

imomoh24 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 02, 2006 2:45 pm

I'm thinking of enrolling in an IT school in order to acquire skills in CCNA and ultimately write a certification exam.
Question is can i learn it myself.If yes, how?
Need help urgently as i intend going to pay on Monday.

Are u self driven? (serious, focused and determined person)?
If so, then; Yes u can learn it urself.
If not, then; Goto pay IT school! :roll:

Just to encourage u further, in 2003 i read sybex ccna for abt 2months, and i passed ccna with a very high score... That tels u its possible to be self taught and pass well.

Also note that if u enjoy calculations, ccna wld be easier to learn on ur own. And besides if u ve some criptic ares u dont understand while u prepare, we are here for u

Wish u d best...

Fowe is absolutely right , you can do it yourself. I did too . . . .

You will need the Sybex book ( if possible lay your hands on Richard Deals book as well, but Sybex alone is okay).

You also need to get simulators, it will help yur preparation.

Lastly, I would recommend you get practice exams that mimic the actual exam interface. Boson has good practice tests for the CCNA.

- All the above materials are available on Net130.com

It took Fowe 2 months. It can take u more or less time, depending on your current knowledge, time you devote to study / practice, etc. When you are ready, u will know !

Good luck.

Thanks all,
thing is I'm a rookie to IT, and yes I'm driven.
it's because i dont know what to study,how to study,thats why i wanted to enroll.
any more suggestions give the above?

Fowe · **Posted:** Sun Dec 03, 2006 12:24 am

ok may be we should start from: why do u want to do ccna? why not java?
What are ur core interests in IT if u know them already?

Give us a picture of ur career background... :arrow:

sorry guys,i've away,fell kinda ill but i'm good now.
the thing is i'm in my late 20's and really hv alot to achieve yet,so i want to start wat i'll be able to finish.
and since i studied telecommunication in school,i think networking is more in line with my course of with wat i studied,so that's that for that.

Fowe · **Posted:** Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:47 am

good to know u are good now.
If u enjoy the telecoms stuffs...
Then CCNA is a good start for u in IT.
Are u working somewhere already?

X-2-X · **Posted:** Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:55 am

imomoh24 · **Posted:** Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:50 pm

u guys r really d bomb,wise cracks and all.
tnks Fowe.
no i dnt hv a job now,but i hope to build a career in telecommunication.
really excited about this,apity i didnt start early in IT,wld hv luvd to.
still think CCNA is a good place to start?

Fowe · **Posted:** Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:27 pm

Yes!
Stop thinking! Just jump at CCNA and get urself certified :!:

Goto d certfication forum, u wld ve enough info on CCNA. And as u prepare for d exam, if u wana join a learning curve where u wld understand networking like ABC, u can join my TCP/IP101 topic too; I ve plans to update it soon.
Note! u are doing CCNA primary for the kowledge and not just d certificate. Thats d best i wld advice u. So go through the process..., dont go about looking for shortcutss....
I which you the best as u start.... :arrow:
