It's quite a normal occurrence for students not to check on a painfully important area - how their company breaks up the courseware elements, and into what particular chunks. Normally, you will join a program requiring 1-3 years study and get posted one section at a time - from one exam to the next. This may seem sensible until you think about these factors: Maybe the order of study offered by the provider doesn't suit. You may find it a stretch to finalise every element at the speed required?

In an ideal situation, you want ALL the study materials up-front - giving you them all to come back to in the future - as and when you want. This allows a variation in the order that you move through the program as and when something more intuitive seems right for you.

A useful feature that many training companies provide is job placement assistance. The service is put in place to steer you into your first IT role. Ultimately it's not as difficult as you may be led to believe to get employment - as long as you've got the necessary skills and qualifications; the shortage of IT personnel in Britain looks after that.

However, don't leave it until you have finished your training before polishing up your CV. The day you start training, list what you're working on and place it on jobsites! Having the possibility of an interview is far better than not even being known about. Often junior support jobs are given to people (who've only just left first base.) If you'd like to keep travelling time and costs to a minimum, then you'll probably find that a specialist independent regional recruitment consultant or service can generally serve you better than a national service, for they're far more likely to know local employment needs.

Please make sure you don't put hundreds of hours of effort into your studies, only to stop and leave it up to everyone else to sort out your employment. Get off your backside and make your own enquiries. Invest the same resource into landing the right position as you did to gain the skills.

The 2 examinations are 640/802, and they are split like this - The ICND1 (640-822), and the 'ICND2' (640-816). ICND stands for 'Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices', however the 'ICND1' examination is often known as 'CCENT' (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician). All these acronyms don't help to simplify matters for the student coming into I.T., but the most straightforward bit of advice is generally to consider the CCNA 640/802 as a blended accreditation. This specific path would hugely gain from being combined with the CompTIA A+ & 'Network+' qualifications, since they will provide all the necessary grounding before attempting the more advanced 'Cisco specific' examinations. You'll want to allow yourself approximately 400 - 500 hrs of study for a combined course like this. As with all specialist training programs, 24 hour direct access student-support ought to be available to let you study & ask questions anytime you need to. Add in all-inclusive multimedia tutorial training, and a powerful exam preparation program & you will be set for success.
