I completely changing fields right now and I’m going into the family business. The fam wants me to get a CCNA to start with but I don’t know that much about tech except the physical aspect like running cables, etc. Is it possible to learn this and pass the exam although all my experience is in Business Management? The pressure is on right now...help Brehs

Definitely possible, although only thing your experience in business management that will translate is time management for studying.
First, purchase an Official Cert Guide
Then check out the courses on Udemy.. and make sure to view the exam topics at CCNA Exam Topics - The Cisco Learning Network
You can split the CCNA into ICND1 and ICND2 for an easier transition..

@el_oh_el won't he also need to buy a lab kit? Would it be easier on him to go for the ccent first?

I ask because I'm currently going the IT route myself. Studying for A+ and aiming for the Network+ next. Depending on what job I get with first two I would go for Microsoft mta certs or start studying ccent.

You gotta get the cert and then get at least 1 months field experience. It's not that hard IMHO.
