Hello dackr16,
The course Cisco Certified Technician Supporting Cisco Routing and Switching Network Devices (RSTECH) focuses on the skills required for onsite support and maintenance of Cisco routers, switches, and operating environments. This course will help Field Engineers identify Cisco router and switch models, accessories, cabling, and interfaces; understand the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) software operating modes and identify commonly found software.
The Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking certification validates an individual’s skills and knowledge of entry-level networking concepts and topics. The certification demonstrates foundational knowledge and skills needed to show how networks operate, including the devices, media, and protocols that enable network communications.
Both are entry level certifications...In my Understanding...RSTECH focuses on mainly Routing and Switching foudation level. Where as CCST foucuses on 6 following domains...
The Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking certification is also a first step toward CCNA certification.
