Hi guys,

 

I was thinking of trying to get some professional qualifications to increase my employability.

Are there any recommended books for CCNA/CCNP? Any good online resources?

 

Has anyone here done any of these?

 

I don’t mind paying for the books but if there is an online learning method with a simulator/practice exams etc I think that would be an easier way for me to learn...or a combination of the two? There is a Cisco lab at work I have full access to with routers, switches etc.

 

Are there any growing areas in the industry where there will be a demand for candidates with experience/qualifications. I’m trying hard to find an area to specialise in as a career but unsure where to go (as in, which area will give me the most long term benefit).

 

Are there any other general areas in IT Support experiencing a boom? Are there any other cheap/free courses I can do to bulk up my CV?

 

Your help/advice is appreciated.
