[@stevenv3546]

Thanks, Mike! I'm studying for my CCNA now. This was encouraging! I would definitely love to see more videos on networking engineering, basic programming skills for networking engineering, and some advice to stand our from the rest of the crowd since there may be a large number of people getting ccna certified.

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

Thanks for viewing and for the content recommendations. Good luck on your CCNA. Keep me posted on your outcome.

Thanks for tuning in💯

[@quarshonacollins1026]

great knowledgeable podcast!

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

Thanks for listening

[@dualia-s74m]

is packet tracer enough for CCNA

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

Yes , you can lab all the technologies that’s covered in CCNA with packet tracer. Make sure you have an updated version also.

[@Blomvi]

Is ccna still worth it? Since everything is moving to the cloud

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

Good question I might answer this in a upcoming video also. In my opinion yes, because you still have networking in the cloud. Aws has a advanced networking specialty certification just on networking.

[@Blue-ex]

Great video! Are you aware of exam retake fees?

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

I think you can pay a little more maybe like $375 to get a free retake if you fail other than that it’s full price again. They may have changed it by now since the last update.

[@obrienortega6942]

How many questions can one expect on the exam?

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

Generally you can have 50-60 questions with 120 minutes to take the exam

[@lertub]

Did you see a lot of subnetting on your test

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

I didn’t but every test is different and it has been updated since. I would prepare by using the exam topics

[@lertub]

@@debtfreeinitwmike thanks

[@tyrojames9937]

COOL!

[@ludovinaines]

How much can you earn in a week with ccna

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

It will vary depending on your location. Most people usually start at around 45k and top out somewhere in the range of 70k 80k. All is going depend on your area and experience. Entry level with no experience I would Expect 45-60k

[@catchwreck928]

how long did it take is it possible to do it in a month

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

If you already have some knowledge of networking and some experience configuring networking devices it may be possible but I would recommend at least a couple months of this is a refresher . More if it’s all new to you.

[@debtfreeinitwmike]

For me it was my second time getting it, once in 2008 then again a couple years ago . I studied for about 3 months then took it
