Getting into networking! Where to start?

[selmon89]

I am brand new to the Cisco world and would love to know where to start to get my CCNA! Would doing Udemy courses and other classes be enough to get those certifications? How long did it take you to get your CCNA? Is it worth going for? Or any other help flip information you have for a complete newbie! Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the community. There are a ton of free resources available. Speaking for myself getting my CCNA years ago was the best thing I ever did for my networking career. A few places to check out:

www.skillsforall.com

learningnetwork.cisco.com

The first has free courses and the 2nd is a community of like minded pros that can answer certification specific topics.
