You are in a Great Spot! I personally know that you can do Cisco training in Dubai, I know someone who did it, just like the United States and India and other countries you can find training that caters to the needs.. Put in Cisco training in Dubai and you will have a list of choices for "training" you go to everyday and have labs and equipment.

By now, some of you may have received the Cisco propaganda e-mail from the Learning Network about their Exam Transparency Project.

Of course, I was anxious to see what they meant by this transparency, and here it is.

New Certification Exam Topics Roll-Out
The Learning@Cisco Exam and Marketing teams are pleased to announce the completion of an "exam topic transparency" project, which was undertaken to increase openness about exams for Cisco certification candidates?consistent with certification industry best practice today. As part of this collaborative effort, the two teams have restructured the more than 170+ exam topic lists, or blueprints, that appear on the Cisco Learning Network and Cisco.com.

The topics have been made more transparent in two significant ways: They now show, as a percentage, the amount of focus, or weight, given to each general topic, or domain, in the exam. Knowing the percentages will allow certification candidates to allocate study and test-taking time more strategically.Further detail about each domain has been provided by means of subtopics, which will give candidates a clearer sense of exam coverage upfront. Click on Cisco.com and Cisco Learning Network for an example of the new topics information for the 100-101 ICND1 exam. Is this the transparency that you were looking for, or did you have something else in mind?

I really like this idea, haven't seen this yet but it sounds great. I think this will help anyone without a clear idea of their career path, and those who are wondering what exams would best help their current job roles.

Thanks for posting!

Programming certifications?

I was talking with my brother last night (he's an electrical engineer) about my plans on school, training, and certifications and he thought I should look into something that will show I know programming on my resum?. I did get a BS in computer engineering a decade ago. I was writing code of some sort for much of the time since then but I have not really been exposed to anything new. The coding I know is between 10 and 20 years old. I learned C/C++, Fortran, Javascript, HTML, SQL, some Java. What I'd like to know is Ruby, PHP, Perl, CSS, more Java, and whatever else the cool kids might be doing these days.

My brother suggested I go back to college, get a BS in computer science or something. With my background I could possibly go through the core courses in a BS computer science program in one year. I'd learn what's new out there and have a piece of paper to prove it. As a veteran I might be able to get Veteran Affairs to pay for it. What the VA has done for me is pay for classes towards IT certifications, they've done that already. Getting them to pay for another BS will quite likely be a tough sell.

If college does not work then are there courses and certifications in programming I can look at taking?

The goal is employment in computer network security. I've found that employers expect their networking people to know how to program. In any networking environment there is going to be a lot of scripts going around, version control, support of the people that write "real" code, and so forth where intimate knowledge of how to write good code is somewhere between preferable and essential.

I'm looking at what is offered in my area and online. I'm just not sure what I should be looking for.

I find it very hard studying at home because it is so easy to become distracted. How do you all study? At the library? Listen to music? Alone or in a group?

For me it depends on how good of a grasp I have of the material prior to studying. Meaning if I'm well versed in the topic, I can study well with distractions such as music, television, the wife and kids, etc.

Having my degree in Psychology, I have found it is best for me to study in the same environment as the test will be presented in. If I know the test center will be quiet, I study at the library. If the test center is on a loud, busy street, I'll study somewhere where I will have similar background noise.

I also prefer to study alone until final review, aside for asking some questions in forums. I normally have my wife quiz me with flashcards 48 hours before a test.

I hope this helps a bit.

99% at home, 1% in my Jeep waiting to pick up my wife after work. When I'm in the jeep I actually retain what I read because I read aloud. I also try to read a subject and pretend like I am introducing the topic to someone else, hitting it from different angles and trying to relate the subject to what I know. Its goofy, but it works for me.

When at home, I read/read/read then make notes on the key points. Flash cards when terms pop up. Summarizing larger ideas into a few sentences, then breaking those down into key points.

Videos (Udemy/youtube) when I can.

Set a daily goal, whether its 20 minutes or an hour or a chapter or a page. Set a goal and do it. Expand on that goal when you can, but achieve the goal every day.

Isolated with headphones most of the time. My "method" is that I usually estimate how much time I need to do/read/code x thing, I make a list about everything I want to do in the day and make a schedule. I sometimes set up an alarm to check if I'm going on schedule. I try to not study more than 6-8 hours straight and take a 30 minute break every 4 - 5 hours or so. At least to me the "pressure" of having a schedule helps with the distracting problem.

If you are being easily distracted then you need to put on some walls. A year ago I was spending too much time on games, so I cut it. Also watching too many TV series, now I rarely watch a full season on a day of a TV show, like I used to.

This is an extremely broad question, and the answer is... It depends on two things primarily: Your learning style and your level of introversion/extroversion. The library or at home works for ones a little more introverted. Starbucks or Barnes and Noble works better for someone looking for a few more people. I personally like a little mix of both. As for learning methods, you need to experiment. Visual, auditory and tactile are your three primary ways of learning. Play around with one and you may absorb some information. Use more then one or all and your success multiplies. Flash cards, videos, lectures on the go, simulators, hands-on training, etc. The more effort you make, the more you'll get out of it. Also, pace yourself. Don't spend five hours straight studying. Have a little buffer room to eat, socialize, facebook (Gotta be careful with that one haha) go exercise, check out the news, etc. As for paying attention, that's on you man! If you want it bad enough then you'll be willing to put in as much effort as necessary.

Find out what is distracting you and then eliminate it. As for myself, I study at home because I need absolute quiet.
