Any exam seems difficult without proper guidance and training. The CCNA certification by Cisco is an entry-level certification for the after-sales engineer certification. This training gives you all the knowledge and skills required to pass the CCNA certification exam.
CCNA is a certification offered by Cisco and has grown to be the most desired IT certifications of today. Since Cisco certifications are highly valued in organizations, the CCNA certification is definitely worth investing in.
After being a CCNA certified professional, you could work with Cyber Ops, Cloud, Data Center, Collaboration, etc. The certification offers you skill set that makes you capable of applying to network jobs that require high level of aptitude and meet the varied demands of this profession.
Although both the certifications cover network-related topics, CCNA is more robust as it includes Network+ topics in the first few chapters. CCNA is definitely a much better certification and harder too. So, if you are a beginner, you should start with Network+ and then move on to CCNA.
You will require to study 10 hours a week for 10-15 weeks diligently to completely prepare for the CCNA exam that includes watching videos, reading, community discussions, practicing hands-on skills and practice tests.
