CCNA Study Plan
I have put together around 82 hours of study time to pack into re-certifying for the CCNA. I am having a budget of around 2 hours per day in training. I will need to be able to work on my study plan for this until 6-4-24 which is my scheduled CCNA exam date. In addition, I am reading two more books that are the 17th book and 18th book this year. Finished with the 16th book yesterday.
The 17th book, that I am doing, is the CCNA Certification Study Guide Exam 200-301. The other book is the CCNA Certification Practice Tests Exam 200-301. For my studies, I am doing a Udemy Course which I am around 50% done that is the CCNA Video Boot Camp. On LinkedIn Learning, I am doing the Prepare for the Network+ (N10-008) Exam Learning Path, which I am on 8/9 videos. Also working on the CCNA CBT Nuggets training and skillsforall.com.
Working on Other Things
Working on other things like learning more about Digital Assets and NFTs will help me in my CCNA training. This will get my mind off the topic and help with anxiety. I will also be studying for the Certified in Cybersecurity, the CompTIA Project+ and the CCST: Cybersecurity certifications. These additional three certifications will help me pivot after the CCNA into more training.
Building up my portfolio will help me in my investment and entrepreneurship knowledge. I have been investing some more on SMBX, a business bond investment platform. I am working more on my peer-to-peer lending portfolio and getting a good return in Prosper. Also having some luck in Kiva, where I am now in the top 10% of Kiva Lenders.
Conclusion
When I am working on the CCNA I will need some other things to keep me busy. I am hoping that the Certified in Cybersecurity will be the next certification that I attempt after the CCNA. Gearing my month or so of training into the CCNA and doing TryHackMe again for the 30 day streak badge will allow me to continue to build up my skills in computer networking and cybersecurity.
