Network + or CCNA? Which one is right for you!? Book your 1 on 1 with me by hitting the link in my bio I'm definitely going the Network Engineering path. Do you recommend taking Network+ first or the CCNA? Or just CCNA? So first, I think we need to determine what are the differences here. So we have your Network+ given by CompTIA. This is a vendor neutral certification. It's going to go over port numbers, it's going to go over routing basics, it's going to go over switching basics. It's going to be a lot of theory, right? But then when we talk about the CCNA, the Cisco certified Network Associate, that is for Cisco equipment. But it's a very powerful certification. It means that you understand Cisco equipment, but that's also transferable because a lot of other equipment, whether it's Palo Alto, whether it's Juniper, whether it's whatever's out there, they pretty much operate the same. Yes, commands are going to be different, interface names might be a little bit different, but the main core of this information of how things operate is not going to change. So the CCNA is a great certification, but if you're not doing Network Engineering, by all means, definitely get a Network+ because, remember, networking is the foundation of anything technology. The reason that you're seeing this video on TikTok is because of networking. So I know you guys think in the comments, does this make sense? Is there something that you don't understand? Let's talk about it. But if you want to get the CCNA and you're not doing Network Engineering, you're going into cyber, you're going into cloud, you're going into other areas of tech, you're going to have to make that determination. But I will say a CCNA does have great market value.
