Introduction
Cisco certifications will require some dedicated training if you are new to IT.  These will be tough for those considering a career change, but well worth the effort.  Cisco certifications are popular and respected although there are fewer opportunities for employment if you have no existing experience.  We recommend that you firstly become certified with Microsoft and then tackle the CCNA certification which is the starting point for all Cisco certifications.
