You must have a good understanding of the operation and function of computer networks, as networks are connected to routers. Without this you may encounter problems. You might find a course teaching the basics in networking (maybe the CompTIA Network+, possibly with A+ as well) prior to starting your CCNA. Some providers offer this as a career track.
Achieving CCNA is what you should be aiming for - at this stage avoid being tempted to do the CCNP straight away. After gaining experience in the working environment, you will have a feel for if this next level is for you. If it is, you'll have a much better chance of succeeding - as your working knowledge will put everything into perspective.
We need to make this very clear: You absolutely must have proper 24x7 professional support from mentors and instructors. You will have so many problems later if you don't adhere to this. Avoid, like the plague, any organisations that use call-centres 'out-of-hours' - with your call-back scheduled for standard office hours. This is useless when you're stuck and need help now.
The very best programs provide an internet-based round-the-clock service combining multiple support operations from around the world. You'll have an easy to use environment which accesses the most appropriate office any time of the day or night: Support available as-and-when you want it. You can't afford to accept a lower level of service. Direct-access round-the-clock support is the only kind to make the grade with computer-based courses. Maybe burning the midnight-oil is not your thing; but for most of us, we're working while the support is live.
Sometimes trainees assume that the tech college or university system is still the best way into IT. Why then is commercial certification becoming more popular with employers? With fees and living expenses for university students becoming a tall order for many, alongside the IT sector's growing opinion that corporate based study often has more relevance in the commercial field, there has been a big surge in Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe authorised training routes that educate students for much less time and money. Essentially, the learning just focuses on what's actually required. Actually, it's not quite as pared down as that, but the principle remains that students need to focus on the exact skills required (including a degree of required background) - without attempting to cover a bit about every other area (as academia often does).
When an employer understands what they're looking for, then all they have to do is advertise for someone with a specific qualification. Commercial syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and can't change from one establishment to the next (like academia frequently can and does).
