Anyone out there a CCENT?



Posted by: David Davis
Cisco, CCNA

I am curious to hear from those who are working on their CCENT certification. Have you tried it? Or have you even heard of the CCENT yet?CCENT-CCNA-CCDP-Pyramid

The CCENT is the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician and it is what you achieve if you take just 1 Cisco test (640-822 ICND1). The CCENT prepares you for the CCNA exam and you Cisco has some nice resources for it at both the CCENT Instant Answers webpage and the CCNA Prep Center.

I have heard from a number of my associates and they have been using the Train Signal CCENT Video Training package and have been impressed with it. I know they have a free demo at that URL.

So - how about you? Are you already a CCENT? What did you think of the experience? Are you aspiring to be a CCENT? What questions do you have? Post em’ here!

I am a newly minted CCENT. This will be a whole new line of work for me. I used the Cisco Press certification guide by Wendall Odom as well as Boson Netsim and passed the test on the first try. I studied for about three months. Since I am not currently in IT, I’m not sure how I will fare at getting that first job with just the CCENT and various other programming and design courses. ..but I have my first interview for an associate network analyst position on Thursday, so I guess I’ll find out! It doesn’t appear that too many employers are aware of the new CCENT just yet though…

Hi Saturn,
BIG CONGRATS to you on your CCENT!
I am sure you are right about employers not being aware of it but a little education and glorification will go a long way.

Good luck on that interview! I know you will get the job!

Thanks for reading my blog and if you ever have any questions or article topics, let me know.
