How do they test your skills in A and C schools? Via hands on simulator? Exams?
Are instructors very helpful, meaning do they help build your skills from the bottom up or do they just plop a couple books on your desk and say "good luck."
Originally posted by 16549446: Its seems like CTN is more focused on the Network Security/Network analysis/forensics portion. As ITs we're working with more radio/sat comms issues, ADP- more network administration issues (but security is always important) and message handling. In a nutshell CTNs seem to be much more focused as network security experts, where as an IT would be working on message handling/keeping comms up/and network administration (reseting passwords,troubleshooting the network/adns. Also as usual "it depends". On what kind of billet you end up in. An IT working on a shore message center vice a guy on a carrier strictly on ADP, vice someone on a smaller platform (cg/ddg/ffg) where they might have their hands in everything will have different day to day responsibilities/experiences.
So if I wanted to utlizie CCNA/CCNP/CCIE and Microsoft certs which would utilize them more? I currently have taken all CCNA classes but have not taken the exam.
