Hey all,

I would like to get the above certifications. What resources did you use to study? I can't afford the official training and my employer doesn't want to pay for it.

Any and all help, and all tales of your experience is aplriciated.

    Hey thanks for the rant! Very informative. I agree that one should know the fundamentals and not just focus on the cert. I need the cert for my career though. As I always say: Certs are for managers. Any half decent technical knowledgable interviewer will suss out if you know your stuff.

    I'm doing microtik training in the autumn to get my network knowledge up. (Why do cisco if networks have standardization). I need the study guides or other resources because they ask about commands I rarely use, or if I use them its only one or two specific commands (i.e. i use ip addr but rarely ip link or ip netns. But having the RHCSA/E checkmarks next to your name does wonders for your marketability. ($€₱£¥ ;-))

    I'll drop you a dm for that copy.

      I think you got the right idea: certs are 70-90% marketing, and if you’re lucky, 10-30% actual knowledge and training. :)
