CCNA: The foundation that built my IT career (can be yours, too)

Hello there, my name is Hank Preston, and I’m CCNA certified. Well, actually, I’m also CCNP, CCIE, and DevNet Expert certified, but it is the CCNA that started me on my journey way back on August 8, 2004. 20 years ago, I sat down for the first time at a Prometric testing center, heart beating fast, palms a little sweaty, and super nervous for my first certification exam: CCNA 640-801.

The networks that run AI workloads and support the training of generative AI models need to…

Some kind of spy training exercise? Nope. It’s a Cisco certification exam. It’s no wonder Cisco certification exams are nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first one. That’s not even taking into account all the studying you have to do prior to the actual exam…

CCNA: What It Means to Me, What Awaits in Cisco U.

The CCNA changed my life. This isn’t exaggeration or hyperbole. It all started back in 2001, right here in Ottawa, Canada. I was teaching high school computer science (Visual Basic!) and web design (Macromedia!) when Cisco Networking Academy approached our school board to see if we would be interested in joining their fledgling program. I knew nothing about networking then, but the folks at Cisco Networking Academy explained that they would send me to classes…
