Views on CompTIA A / CCNA for a Comp-sci/Math graduate. Is it Worth it?

by henryhenryhenry . Updated 12 years, 2 months ago

I am currently studying maths and computer science at a Russell group university and have been given recommendations by people in industry to look at CompTIA A and CCNA. I had a look at CompTIA A and although I don’t have the knowledge in the course, it does not seem to have a huge amount of complex content (apologies for being ignorant if this isn’t the case, I’m judging from the sample exam questions). Would this be overlooked by an employer considering my degree (assuming I achieve it!)? I would study it in my own time but the exam still costs a fair amount and it would take up time so if it adds nothing, I won’t bother. Also what would your views be on CCNA, this on the other hand looks like a much harder qualification which is also out of scope of the modules I’m choosing to do at university. Thanks for any replies.
