    Evening all :)

    Got the chance to do this subject as part of my main course for free.

    Just wondering if it is worth it, and of any value in the industry.?

    Thnaks :)

    It has value but only with experience. Could be a way in to a company though.

    The certification is quite common now so not realy worth much in itself. If you dont have a lot of networking knowledge though the CCNA curiculum covers a great deal so can still be worthwhile taking.

    If you can do it for free then i think it would be silly not to!

    Sure its not thw worlds best qualification, but it will show you have a decent enough understanding of networking and can setup cisco gear, wich is always a usefull skill.
