The CompTIA Network+ and the CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) are both GREAT certs...but which one is better? Which one is more valuable for your career? Also, is it even worth it to get a vendor-neutral IT certification?

Network Plus is a fantastic route if you're not trying to be a network engineer. However, the broad knowledge it provides suites any other IT profession. (Sysadmin, Developer, etc) It builds a very solid foundation and fundamental understanding of networking.

The A+ helped me land my first job. If your just starting out and know nothing about IT. I would recommend taking the A+ first and figure out your IT path afterwards. It really depends what your trying to do. You can be a developer, work as a system admin or security or networking. The first job is the hardest job to get.

Nice video Chuck! I started with the Network+ and it landed me a pretty nice Service Desk job where I actually get to configure Cisco hardware on the daily. I'd agree that the CCNA is probably the best choice in the long run, but the Net+ worked out well enough and I think it prepared me on a basic level to pick up the Cisco config work fairly quickly. Only real advice I have is to pick one and start studying immediately! The faster you get certified, the faster you can land your first job and start getting experience which will be waaaaay more valuable than most certs....And then you can start having your company pay for your next certs.

Definitely pick up either a Net+ or CCENT along your journey. Networking is found in all aspects of IT. You'll thank yourself later. :)

@xRoyaltyyy 5 лет назад

I hold three CompTIA certs (can you guess which? :P) and in my opinion, the topics involved in the CompTIA exams are definitely at a professional level. Where CompTIA falls is just how easier their tests are compared to Cisco's. In addition to that, companies like vendor specific certifications for a variety of reasons. After you are CompTIA and Cisco certified, you start to respect them both, they are not that dissimilar.

There's an important detail that you forgot to mention: Cisco certifications have the power to automatically renew CompTIA certs (ex: CCENT renews Network+, CCNA Security renews Security+, etc). That being said, it's interesting to get Cisco certifications after CompTIA.

@wmurray1990 5 лет назад

I agree, in 2018 I got my CCENT and Network Plus, and the Network Plus goes over ALOT of technologies, but it's all theory, vocabulary, and I believe you really could get the Network + without labing. The CCENT is deeper but I haven't found many potential employers who are interested in a CCENT. Also take into account that the Net + is an IAT level one cert for government jobs. I'm a month away from the CCNA exam and that is the milestone all of us should be seeking.

@davidosborne4481 5 лет назад

I think that the entry level CompTia certs are good. They teach a broad overview of the topic you are trying to learn more about. I have Network+ and Security +. If it wasn't for Network+, then I would have been so confused studying for the CCENT. (Which I have now. :)). I think that if you are brand new, learn the CompTia study material, then go to the next level (Cisco). It will be much easier.

The same for GOVERNMENT JOBS where you just need to be allowed around networking equipment, thats COMPTIA.

@azerathul 4 года назад

A CCENT is pretty much pointless unless you are looking to go the next step and go for CCNA. If you are going Cisco route, focus on getting a CCNA. If you are looking to be a well-rounded IT professional and have versatility, then take the Comptia path. Start with A+ then do Network + then Security+. After that, go for a CISSP or CISM. If you have those you will out earn a Cisco guy in most cases. I have a Security+, CEH, CCNA, CISM, GCIH, GCIA. I listed them in order of my opinion of difficulty. Been in IT for 15 years and I've never seen a CCENT or Network+ be something a prospective employer would be looking for if these were your only certs. These are complimentary certs and help make you more well-rounded. Being well-rounded will get you a lot further in 6 figure jobs than focusing in one area.

@antoniokimble5286 5 лет назад

I achieved my A+ and Net+ shortly after thinking I could get something outside of help desk work. Short answer is NOPE! You need to specialize at some point to up the ladder from doing menial work. The verge I mentioned will help you get your foot in the door to IT but that’s it. Higher level positions will expect you to have CCNA, VCP (VMware), or MCSA to even be looked at. Keep in mind though is that experience > all. If you can get experience and get yourself into an interview, pay it all out of what you know, what you’re working on and you may impress. It’s how I’m able to move away from menial call center tech support to an actual technician that works in tandem with the infrastructure team. My goal is to be a sys Admin so this logically is my next step until I earn enough experience to talk specifics in an interview.

Great way of looking at it. To be honest, after graduating university, I was introduced to networking. Nothing much we studied about at college. I was fascinated by it instantaneously, but puzzled at the same time. I wanted to learn more. So, I headed to a computer training center -back in those glorious days- and the consultant offered all the tracks they have in the networking sector. I -through intuition- chose to start with CompTIA N+. I’m still grateful to this day for that decision. Then when I started CCNA training I enjoyed every single topic because the full picture was there already. Maybe this is me and my mind set. But it really worked for me and walked me through from newbie novice to professional expert. Thanks for sharing this. Again as you emphasized, knowledge and expertise are nothing without certification. All the best.

Cisco certifications if you're looking for a Network tech/admin/engineer career. Comptia certifications if you're looking for a help desk career.

My first cert was Novel CNA 4.x decades ago :D I would recommend CCENT for someone who wants to go the Networking route. Else someone who wants to learn in general as an administrator then Networking +

Helpdesk technician looking to advance. I've earned my A+ and currently working on Net+. For the jobs I'm look at, I see it down the middle. Now, would I say the Net+ overtakes a CCNA on the path to a network engineer. I would say no. But if your'e looking for a baseline knowledge without having to specialize in cisco, comptia would be the route to go. I haven't decided what my path to take, and as a Helpdesk tech, I don't need to know Cisco to do my job. So ultimately it comes down to what you are after. If the path ultimately leads to a more defined networking role, than a CCNA will be in the cards. But i'm also considering cyber ops and/or linux. So who knows.

Comptia training is week. Go with Cisco,it’s much harder,but you’ll be better prepared

@richardbrighoff4222 5 лет назад

A+ was first. A+ for sure, doesn't mean anything but management likes the look of it. For networking, CCNA for sure.

My first IT cert was the A+ ! I would only recommend it to people trying to get their first entry level IT job on the help desk, and/or people with absolutely NO tech experience on their resume (e.g. graduated with a social science degree but trying to make the switch into IT). That way, employers don't look at your resume like: "Geography major? What the heck does this person know about computers?!" Then I got the Net+ and at the interview, the guy literally asked me "So what do you even learn on the Net+? I never took it". Didn't open too many doors. If I could do it over, I'd save the money from A+/Net+ materials and exams, and go straight for the CCENT/CCNA. I ended up getting the job, and now they're paying for my next few certs 😁

@@katygonzalez7422 Hi Katy! Applying for a job IS a job, isn't it? Sooo time-consuming. The number one most important thing is people skills. If you have any experience working in food service (I worked at Chipotle for 3 years) or retail, you NEED to leverage that. Through those jobs, you learn how to deal with difficult customers, coworkers, and bosses. Clean up your resume, clean up your LinkedIn, and apply to jobs through there - forget about Indeed. I would get my A+ because it got me calls. If you have the time, however, study for the CCENT and skip the A+. But the A+ can be passed pretty easily. Its two exams, though, which sucks, but the exams aren't too pricey and neither are the study materials for it.

@@holygrail59 thank u so much for responding so is better to skip a + and go straight to CCENT thank you I do have experience in restaurant I used to work in Arby's restaurant I do not know what path to take I really want to have a job as a help desk because i would like to be system administrator thank you so much I really appreciate good night.

I really recommend looking at CBTNuggets IT Expert series! This is something you will experience in any environment. This plus any O365 training, how to create accounts, shared mailboxes, distribution lists and troubleshooting the clients installed on users computer. If you look at some of the Active Directory courses this would help you a lot!

@DoublePTech 5 лет назад

Umm, yes A+ and Network+ are entry level. They use to be geared to people with less than 6 months experience. Per CompTIA. I think you shouldn't go down the Cisco trail until you have a little experience.

@MuvaLaNegra 5 лет назад

I think the CompTIA is much like a degree in Information Technology. You are taught all aspects of I.T. and from there you can pick a track to follow and CCENT would be considered a track a specialization.

Seems like this cert is becoming obsolete come 2020. I would go for a CompTIA Security Plus which meets DOD standards 8570 until CISCO figures its paths out.

@lavoyallison1279 3 года назад

Thank you for your advice. I am in need of help to point out a scam from the internet providers. If you have studied fiber optics or coaxial cable you know that the about of frequencies they carry is not based on size. Internet service providers are putting up cables that are 3 inches around and four runs of this going one way. At this stage of the internet the hardware is routing the packets to the receiving computer. The size of the cable has nothing to do with data transfer. We should not be paying more than $35 for internet, phone and cable!

@BeccaTheBoring 5 лет назад

Comptia is the way to go if you want to do field hardware installs/de-installs. You never know what you're going to find on one of those tickets, even when they tell you exactly what they *think* the job is for.

@murtazabrown 5 лет назад

My first Cert was CompTIA A+ back in 2009. I think this cert is great for anyone starting in IT.

@BamBam-gs7eb 5 лет назад

Totally on point. Re: CompTIA’s image. Personally I think a lot of this (i.e. being the place newbies go) is a lot to do with their well-established A+ and N+ certs. For me I wanted to get into Security and they offer the perfect cert; Sec+, they know their market well! I found the Sec+ provided a broad overview and having passed this I did come away feeling it was more of a memory test than one of applicable skill, which reflects comments made about the N+. To add whilst the Sec+ syllabus is excellent and provides a solid foundation many of the concepts, tools used you need to explore those much further outside of what the exam will ask you to do. It appears CompTIA have addressed this with their higher range of certs. Such as the CySa+. So for me, I was on the line of jumping backwards to the N+ to fill in my networking gaps or picking up the CCENT, having watched this I think the latter is more beneficial, the practical application being the key. Also offers a road to CCNA Security!
