Hi! 

Thank you

Welcome @Alam615  Certifications are good but hands on experience is better so I wouldn't go to overboard with online training courses otherwise your resume could become a bit cluttered when it comes to applying for roles.

Good luck with your studies and welcome to the community.

Thank you so much for the advice.

Welcome @Alam615.  Agree with @BlakeRichardson with regards certifications.  You must be able to back them up with hands-on experience.  Whilst serving in the Army I did a stint of work experience with a Cisco Partner to validate my CCNA cert. They offered me a job after a week.

That's amazing. I have purchased the labs and practice on them daily. Thank you
