Networking course

[alpha777]

Hi Guys

I am looking at doing a networking course. I work with linux routers, VPN's, MPLS, L2TP etcetera.
I feel I need something extra to certify what I do. Are there any courses out there that could augment what I do?

Is the CCNA a decent course or is it Cisco specific?

Any help would be appreciated.

CCNA teaches you the basics but it's very Cisco specific. It also doesn't deal with MPLS, or VPNs.

network + is a good starter, then ccna is the natural progression, linux routing is one of those DIY things in my opinion,. really there are tons of documentation out on it..but all of this depends on how deep you want to go, into which direction. One of my techies did quite a comprehensive course at CTI (college) that covered enough of the basics..
