    Hi all.
    i am a mature self employed engineer and competition engine builder
    i am looking for some advice for part time courses I am looking for a fast track way to get some certification with computers. at present i would regard myself reasonably proficent but by no means an expert.
    I have decided to do the cisco ccna course in waterford IT i realise this is tough but i have been studying cisco press exam cert guide and have sourced a cisco router as preparation.
    also I have been looking at the comptia a+ or the euro cert in maintenance and networking pc expert would like opinions on these two courses
    also wit web design course.
    i have about 20 hours a week to study my aim is to pass these within a year and have a reasonable good base of qualifications that i could use to enter the industry on a part time basis or to make myself more employable abroad as i would like to spend 3-4months a year travelling.
    I realise that without actual work experiance it doesnt make me qualified but i will work on that as i have some contacts in the industry that could help me.
    I would like to say i am very determined and very confident of my abilities I would like to know if this is acheviable and if i have picked the right selection of courses
    Thanks

    Why not look at getting some MCP's and possibly the CCNA. From what I know the CompTIA a+ and n+ exams are basic enough - more for those starting out.

    The CCNA would give you a good network infrastructure qualification and MCP's would give you qualifications in client OS and server OS.

    I wouldn't bother doing a web design course unless you are actually into that field. It is not just something you can learn in a classroom.
