- Network administrator and network technician positions often require a bachelor's degree in computer science or another computer-related field; however, some employers may hire you with only an associate's degree or some college coursework. If you're an experienced networking professional, employers may disregard the degree requirement if you have enough work experience and technical skill. In addition to knowing how to install, configure, maintain and troubleshoot networks that use Cisco technologies, you need to understand LAN and WAN technologies, Internet services, data communication protocols, computer operating systems, information security and desktop applications.
CCNAs need strong customer service and communications skills to handle support ticket requests, deal with outside vendors and communicate technical issues clearly. The tasks of designing networks, choosing equipment, determining connectivity issues and implementing security methods require strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Since networking professionals may deal with many issues at once, it's important to be patient under pressure, self-directed and effective at multitasking. A willingness to learn is also beneficial, since CCNAs need to stay current and get recertified.
