the Cisco and the MS certified engineer* are a couple of the more popular qualifications for networking. Cisco certification is by far superior to the MS training, and also a fuckload more expensive, but it will get you a job no problem. The exams for the MS cert cost nearly a grand iirc, thats not including any training or learning materials which you might or might not need (obviously its all on the net somewhere).
I dont know how much the cisco is but its a lot more, several thousand I think, but not sure.

*also known as a crock of shit

CCNA is real basic, I doubt anyone cares if you have that. I quit that and got a real job.

Check your local FE colleges if you want CCNA stuff.

Some colleges cut a deal so they can offer CCNA curriculum on their City & Guilds qualifications. Essentially CCNA will not be funded by the government so the college bundles it as a city and guilds 720 in networking or something like that and you get a free voucher to take the full ccna exam at your local training partner afterwards.

It's not available everywhere so don't expect your local fe college to do it - I only know about it cos I have been on the ccna at a college (2 nights a week for 2 years - £800 as opposed to lots more)

The CCNA might be basic but if you have no or little network experience it makes a great base for further courses. It will also open the door to quite a few network engineering jobs.
