Also told a place that was hiring for a NOC that is like to volunteer
They said they’d get back to me

I didn’t finish the ACLs

so probably that

I’ll go back and do it

I’m mostly hitting the practice exams hard now and going thru the articles that got the answers

most of them are official Cisco articles
I’m learning a lot

Just paid for it and got the confirmation

I was going for my CCNP R/S but when i transitioned to Aruba Wireless I let my CCNA expire. Like i say always, simulators are alright but if you want to truly learn you need to lab on actual equipment. Spend 200-400 on a CCNA/CCNP lab on eBay and practice.

I did lab equipment before but it was years ago

I would still use it. You can get through the CCNA and somewhat of the CCNP with brain dumps but for getting through the simuations and more importantly actually learning it, you need actual practice. With the NOC if you do get in you will not be doing or expected to do configurations on the network, but you will need to know how to navigate and understand the equipment. In my company, the NOC the lower levels will do surface to mid checks to figure out an issue and kick it up to the higher level NOC employee, but you will need to explain what is happening. One good thing about being in the NOC is that you will get exposed to everything, mostly at a surface level but you will get some experience you can use to get a better NOC position, or even an engineering one.

I'm using GNS3 and Packet Tracer, I got CBT Nuggets, David Bothal videos and Flackbox off Udemy.

The CCNA as 1

I guess it has changed since i took it but you used to be able to take it in two tests. Rather fail a $150 test than a $300 one.
