Who here is certified?

I'm A+ certified, and now am looking at Server+.  Doing the self study for MCSE 2000, but not really motivated.

I am mentally certifiable but that's the only cert I have  :'(

10th grade drop out - GED cert? Does that count?

Been in the industry for somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 years professionally and forever and a day personally +/- a day or two when I was in diapers  ;D

Have worked for Gateway2000, Meril Lynch Online, Netscape, HP, and some others. Currently working for myslef and WVI my local ISP.

I will be talking my Access 2000 certification test in a week or two....wish me luck!

I just finished getting my AS degree in computer science and now I am beginning to take courses to prepare for MCSE certification. My friends and co-workers say I have a natural talent for programming and logic so I should do well.

I have my A+ certification and if i ever get off my lazy butt im gonna go for novell CNE

How hard is the A+ test?

welllllllll I took it back in june of 2000 before all the changed when it was still just DOS, win 3.1 and win 95,  for the software side of it .......... and it was very easy for me ... i dont know how well i would do if i had to take it now...

I have my A+ and just have to take my test for my NET+ and I'm a CS major.

I just got my A+ this summer.  It was so easy.  I only studied for a month by myself.  I just signed up for the test, didn't do anything, bought Mike Myer's A+ book a month before the test, and then crammed a lot the last week before the test and did pretty well on it.

I'm not sure what I'm getting next.  I want to get MSCE but I'll get that last since you have to keep updating it.  I'll probably go for a networking cert next.  What's the difference between CNA and CCNA?  Are they better than Net+?

Net+ is sort of the basics and isnt tied down to a specific vendors product.
CNA and CCNA are both Cisco (http://www.cisco.com) certifications and thus center around there product array of Routers and Switches and what not..

To be CNA qualified you only have to complete one module from any Cisco certification.  

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) IS an actual certification, though I think it only has 1 or 2 tests....most others have more than that.

Been a while since Ive looked into this...anyone feel free to correct me if Im wrong and if I remember they have alot of info on there site about all this stuff anyway.
Cheers.
