Write your reply.

assistant: The Novell "Certified Network Engineer" qualification is granted after you
have passed 7 exams. Each exam costs $100 (aprox) each. To pass the exams you
either need lots of experience or to have sat for the course. This is where
things get expensive with commercial course providers charging around the
$1000 mark. If you want more details, contact someone like Comtech or Educom
(both in Sydney) and they would be happy to send you out some info.
I believe some technical colleges offer the CNE as an option as well.
Then again, there is a lot of unhappiness in the industry with so-called
"paper CNEs" who have passed the exams by study but have never touched a
network in anger. Experience is more valuable than any bit of paper, though
employers don't always realise this.
It might be best if you could start out getting a job assisting someone who
works with PCs and LANs, to learn your way around networks first. This will
also make the courses easier if you do them later on.
