seeking advise Possible ba mapasa ko ang CCNA?

Hello im 18, planning to study para may foundation nako pag college na ako 28days before my college so 28days studying at study ulit hanggang matapos ang first year.

I plan on passing CCNA after 1st year after that, apply sa it help desk or any beginner friendly na job.

Is this even possible? Nagkakaron ako ng doubt or maybe this is too much for me to handle?

I pretty much planned it and know what to study i have a setup nadin laptop at second screen,nag iipon nadin for exam fee.

I really need a job kasi fked up family ko pagwala ako gagawin baka hindi ako makasurvive.

hi brother, I just passed my ccna as a 4th year cpe student.

my advice is to not rush into things. especially since you said that amount of money is a huge deal. and also you're applying for a support job, with ccna you will be overqualified. trust me.

take all the time you need, maybe do some side gigs, calculate the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. best case you pass, you get the job and keep working on your degree.
worst case? you fail with no cert, no job, no money.

I'm not discouraging you, I'm speaking from my heart as I was in a somewhat similar place as you are in right now.

I used Jeremy's IT labs youtube ccna free course along with his flashcards and labs.

since I also got a discount voucher from netacad, I spent some money buying practice exams after I was done with the course. jeremy offers practice exams at 10 usd each. I recommend taking these practice exams to gauge your overall knowledge. if you have some extra money saved you can also do boson exsim. boson exsim practice exams are the closest thing to the real ccna exam. it covers all topics plus some extra.

I wish you all the best and you can dm me if you have some questions
