I am wanting to study for the CCNA test and have enough study material that I can confidently take the 200-301 exam next year. I will be following through as this is the gold standard of Computer Networking. This will set me up for the DevNet Associate and the CCNP ENCOR exams later on.
I have also been thinking about the Aruba certifications from HPE and what that means for getting the ACSA, which is the Aruba Certified Switching Associate. I am waiting until maybe late 2024 to early 2025 before I take this HPE exam. For next year, I will be pursuing the CCNA as my first certification and taking out the CCST: Networking goal which I can come back to in 2025 or later.
For the certifications that I want to wait on, for 2024, I am not doing the AZ-104, which is the Azure Administrator Associate, until the next year as it is for getting the AZ-700 exam, which I am looking at getting for the Azure Network Engineer Associate certification as I want to focus on getting the CCNA in 2024 as my main goal to get a job as a Network Administrator.
