Question. I passed my CCNA 1 year ago, but due to the economy have a hard time finding s networking role. I have a high interest in network security. If I want to focus on network security(firewalls, IPS, NAC), should CCNA Security be my next step, followed by CCSP? How realistic am I being?

Hi Paul!
I think you should be all set for CCNA Security with us in Jan. Check out the IEOC.COM – if you have questions or you find there are some gaps in your core knowledge – you can get your questions answered there. I look forward to “seeing” you in the course!
You will also be able to “try before you buy” so we can ensure the course is perfect for you.
that is gr8 , but what about CCSP track ? are you going to release it soon ??
Hi Frozen Eyes!
Yes – Jan or Feb of 2010.
Will there be any lab workbooks included in the course? If so, will they fit in nicely with your rack rental? I personally use GNS3 for assistance with router hands on practice, but as I’m sure you know, that doesnt help for switches.
Thanks,
Mike
There will be hands on that accompanies the class – we are still working out the details – but yes – there WILL BE hands on.
awesome….just to be clear (and not to be a pain), when you say “class” you are referring to class-on-demand, correct?
Hi Mike!
You are not a pain! Thanks so much for following the blog!
Yes – the initial release will be a class on demand – I will be sure to get a sample done over the holidays.
