How much computer networking experience do I need to have to succeed at a SerView Boot Camp?
The amount of experience and prior training you need depends on the specific certification you are seeking. Neither Microsoft® nor Cisco® lists any prerequisites for their MCP® or CCNA® certifications. Still, you are most likely to succeed if you are at least an intermediate level user. You should be comfortable setting up and managing your own computer system. The prerequisites for more advanced certifications are more extensive. Microsoft® says that you should have at least one-year experience managing a substantial network before you are ready to qualify as a Windows 2000® MCSE®. And to be clear, more experience is better than less. However, we have found that bright people with even limited computer experience, who have completed the MCP® course, usually succeed in certifying at the SerView Windows 2000 Boot Camp. Cisco® requires that you have completed your CCNA® certification before applying for your CCNP® certification.
