clngu, did your company sponsor you to take the trainings and exams? How much money did you invest to get all the certs and how long did it take?

erm, im not sure whether i will be involving in which IT field. Most probably i am looking forward to work as IC designer. Do those professional certs play a role in this career path ? ...

Also, i saw there are some management professional cert stated in previous post .. can you recommend some of the management cert which I able to take ? ... I am not sure whether to take master in business field for my postgraduate study or ... to take these professional certs .. , in order to do so, i need to know will these certs help me in my career if its not really in IT field ..

Moreover, what are the available IT fields we have in Malaysia ? ..

So, are you implying that we should obtain a mixture of technical and management qualification ? ... If so, i will be taking master in management .. or master in finance ..  i dont really like to be too technical to the extent where everday I will be reading/working on the same thing for the rest of my life ... I prefer to go for management path ..

hello... im planning to take mcsa and mcse for this moment. can anyone suggest me the right books to buy? plan to self student since no money..... (

hi all, actually last time i'm not sure getting certified is really tat important now cos currently, my company hired some 'mcse' certified engineer. instead of fixing things, they kept messing things up till the whole client network was down. and in the end, freshies clean up the mess.

but certainly i'll get one, but at least i would certified for the things i really understand. not for the sake of jus getting certified. wat u all think? last time degree was hot, now technical certifications.....

How about those professional certificates that you mention? can I take it and will it be hard to cope despite having little computing background as those which took Computer science degree ?
Im still thinking whether to take BEng or MEng ... zzz in a tight dilemma..
then MBA would be the right choice izzit ?

Hi clngu,

I am still a student studying degree of Comp Science,
now is my last year of study, thinking about getting certified to help me up in my future.

I am interested with web development and securities, and considering to take a CEH course at semester break.

Some of my friends aim for Cisco cert but seems like there is a lot of Cisco certified pros out there....

Can i get some guidance on which certification to get for web development and security?

Thanks

CISSP and JAVA cert @@

ermm if i got deg in it majoring in network + ccna + mcsa..

how much expected salary for me?

hi clngu,

can u guide a lost sheep here?
I'm a programmer/technician for this small private company. have been working for ~4 years.

I'm only holding a degree for computer science and no any other cert.
Currently I dont know which field I'm interested and kinda lost for my carrier path. So, can u tell me which is the 1st cert I should get?

btw, I'm from KK sabah. Is there any exam centre located at KK? If no, does that mean I must go to KL to take these exam for the cert?

thanks clngu! this help a lot.
By the way, is web development a promising career path?
Since i saw most of them who is highly paid is on networking/servers admin/software engineering etc. ....

hi clngu,

20k is consider very cheap.Only the CCNP course itself can cost till 15k.Clngu so do you pay fees to attend course for CCNP and MCSE?  .I have friend work as network engineer 5 years in hypermarket which support is quite complicated.He has go attend the CISCO first two module

642-801 BSCI (Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks)
642-811 BCMSN (Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks)

Until to date,he only get CCNA ONLY/What he say is he go for the exam and failed? he say CCNP is very hard unles you really work at the routing environment else you will failed.Last time ,did you do router and switch while you study the CCNP? Really scare also listen from who experience before? Got planning to take my CCNA. Do you play and setup router yourself ,self study or  got real times hands ON  on cisco router.

Just want to share my experience with those who want take CCNP exam. Feeling bad because yesterday i fail my ccnp bsci exam the passing score is 790 my score is 611. i left 8 question because i have no time to finish it in 2 hours. actually this is my second time to take bsci last time i finish all question on time but only got 600 score ! i have read all the cisco press and testking question but the real exam question is very trick and contain so many output screen which cause me very blur to see and waste my time for the rest question. i think maybe i will find network job b4 take again the bsci. sadly my ccna cert is expired this week. can i still get the ccna related job ?

fresh...... got exp in pc troubleshoot, etc..

dont have exp in server yet

anyone taken OCA & OCP ??..planning to take it...need some infos

i paid myself. just now i check with the cisco website about the recert for my expired ccna. if i want to extend my ccna can i just taking any 642 prefix ccnp exam or i need to retake all the ccna exam? for now i think i should find a networking job first b4 taking any 642 exam. but the problem is i only got diploma in computer studies and ccna cert it seem hard to get me a networking jobs nowaday with no exp b4. 

Don't know yet..any suggestion..my office currently running on 9i
