Still motivated.

That's great @Mohammed_S! Thank you for sharing. You listed a few great goals to help you become a better network engineer. Mind sharing what steps you have taken so far?

There's a 10-minute interactive learning experience on troubleshooting you might like if you haven't checked it out already.

About ready to dive into the Cloud Monitoring for Catalyst Wireless Design Guide for the opportunity to learn and grow.

[AmyReyes]

Love it @RWelch! 🙌 I am all about continuous learning. It's essential in the tech industry especially.

That's exciting @Inderdeep! Sounds like you are getting quite the expanse of knowledge and experience 😁

Sadly, I'm not one of the teammates that's going to CLUS this year; which is what my goal was based on. I am still looking forward to the MS130-8P switches we are going to be deploying soon.

[AmyReyes]

Thanks for sharing @ChrisAtBell! I'm sorry to hear you won't be at Cisco Live this year, but that's great about the new switches! Always exciting to get some new hardware 😄

I'm doing all the Meraki free courses on the Meraki Training website.
I will consider the official exam on October 25

Keep networking...

[AmyReyes]

Wow, that's awesome @Rabih! We have a lot of courses, so that's quite the accomplishment to undertake 😄 If you need any help preparing for the exam, I'm sure our community members have a lot of advice to offer. 

[Rabih]

yes @AmyReyes I really like the web interface of Meraki Community and the Learning page which is a plus and encouraging to learn more! Green = Positive Energy 🙂

Thanks.
