All of this gets us to 2013, when the climb to Cisco supremacy just got much harder
again. The innocuous-sounding siren’s call of the CCENT can lure you to some serious
trouble if you’re not prepared, because it’s actually much harder than the old CCNA ever
was. This will rapidly become apparent once you start studying, but be encouraged! The
fact that the certification process is getting harder really works better for you in the long
run, because that which is harder to obtain only becomes that much more valuable when
you finally do, right? Yes, indeed!
