| Article Title :: Certify This |
| |
| Within the scope of my career, the advent of technical certifications is possibly the worst thing that ever came down the pike. I have already written some material on this subject, but this practice has caused me so much anguish, I wanted to add more fuel to the fire. If one is willing to overlook the fact that certification testing was originally introduced by software and hardware vendors as a means to produce additional streams of income, there are other issues that make this practice even more distasteful.One analogy would be to imagine that someone was interested in hiring you to build a house. For purposes of making the story interesting, let us say you happen to be a m (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Labs: Developing Troubleshooting Skills |
| |
| CCNA / CCNP candidates are going to be drilled by Cisco when it comes to troubleshooting questions. You're going to have to be able to analyze configurations to see what the problem is (and if there is a problem in the first place), determine the meaning of different debug outputs, and show the ability not just to configure a router or switch, but troubleshoot one.That's just as it should be, because CCNAs and CCNPs will find themselves doing a lot of troubleshooting in their careers. Troubleshooting isn't something that can just be learned from a book; you've got to have some experience working with routers and switches. The only real way to learn how to troubleshoot is to deve (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco Certification: Recertifying Your CCNA and CCNP |
| |
| Once you get your CCNA and CCNP, you can't just rest on your accomplishment. You've got to continue to study and add to your skill set - and then prove to Cisco you've been doing just that by recertifying.Recertification sounds like a pain, but it's actually one of the best things to ever happen to computer certification, and it helps your career as well.
