I'm wanting to do some training But I'm not really sure what I want to do. Im leaning really hard towards taking some classes on cisco. Preferably some place away so I can take a trip.

If I do the cisco thing, who do you recommend for training and what kind of training should I get? Sorry if this is written poorly. Ive had waaaaay to much coffee

Go to a bonafide Cisco Academy. Most of the training is available online, but stuff learned online must be repeated in the lab with a qualified lecturer appraising your performance.

Cisco do a fair few courses... do you have a particular qualification in mind?

As a btw, do not all Cisco certifications only last 3 years ? So who's paying ? .. it can be expensive as an individual without 'corporate support' to pursue these & keep them uptodate, if you have 'no other paperwork', I can think of things which might be better to start with..

I have other paperwork, a degree in Computer Information Management as well as A+,Network+ and an IP Telephony cert.

Company is paying so I dont really care if I have to renew
