Short answer is yes. But you must put in a lot of time understanding the CCNA topics. We all learn differently. Find the way that is best for you whether that is classroom courses, books, videos or hands on lab.
I recommend getting a switch and a router to play with. Then do excercises and quizzes and once you feel confident enough schedule the exam. The same problem Maybe somebody could recommend config labs with PT activities? I also began without experience in Cisco devices, but the key is study deeper the concepts important base and after "practice" and "practice" with Cisco Packet tracer or GNS3, also you must try to get a job about networking support and so step by step, you can growth and manage devices or another functions.
Yeah you can def! I would always recommend tons of labs, GNS3, packet tracer to name a few. Also if you want to CBT Nuggets has great content for the new exam, labs and more!

The most successful CCNA students spend most of their time with labs more than any other type of course study material. As you become more adept at setting up labs and home or small office networks , you need to scale up.
Look for opportunities to practice with actual equipment. For your practice sessions, you can buy second hand devices online. Actually, most CCNA exam takers go through the whole course without ever practicing on real equipment. However, if you have the opportunity to practice with real equipment, you are likely to gain more insights than anyone relying fully on simulation software. Many companies still prefer hiring candidates with a computer science degree or related field in addition to CCNA qualification.
However, the IT industry has always favored skill, talent, and experience over paper qualifications.
If you have relevant networking experience or have created an infrastructure of note, then you have an advantage over a degree holder who lacks hands-on experience. Also, keep in mind that employers looking for a Cisco certification holder are likely looking for an employee with very particular skill sets. A degree holder would have a much wider knowledge range but may not have the skills to work with a particular system.
A degree is in most instances a pathway to career success while CCNA gets your foot in the door at a lower position.
With the preparations outlined in this post, you can increase your chances of passing the exams the first time. With regular practice, especially using real equipment and lab simulations, you can quickly learn the skills to become a networking professional. Many modern employers value skill and experience over academic qualifications, so practice hard and frequently. A Full stack engineer is somebody that's got skills across the entire data centre, not just in networking.
They have the skills in networking, but also in server operating systems like Windows and Linux, server virtualization such as VMware, and also in storage. If you are going to do this, typically you're not going to get to a super-advanced level on all of those different domains.
You can specialise as a network engineer, but it's good to have some knowledge across the other domains as well. Around 10 or15 years ago, if you were on the networking team, really you didn't need to know anything about servers or storage because the job roles were all in their own separate compartments with very little overlap. But that's not the case now. Now that virtualization is so prevalent everywhere there's a lot of grey areas and overlap between the different job roles.
It's going to make you a lot more valuable to employers if you've got skills across all of them. Take a deep breath… you're not going to do it all in a day. When you're working through your career and as you're doing the certification it's baby steps. Each certification is a giant leap but you're going to be taking baby steps towards each certification.
So if you're just starting out, everybody started out the same as you as well. Even people that are super well-qualified, they didn't do it all in a day. They did one certification, then another one, and then another one. It's like dominoes and you build momentum. A big piece of advice I can give you, is keep going. If you stop and start and stop and start it's always difficult to start again.
So once you get one certification do another one, then another one, they'll fall over like dominoes and when you do it like that it really doesn't take long at all to become a full stack engineer. You can achieve it in a few years. Again, it's not a few days, it's a few years, but this is great because the difficulty means that not many people do it. If you do become a full stack engineer with multiple different certifications, that's what gives you that great job security where you know that whatever happens you're always going to be in a great job with a great salary doing work that you love.
Unfortunately to get the certification you need to have sat in an official VMware class either in the classroom or online. You can take less expensive non-official training to learn about it, but to get the VCP certification you need to sit the official VMware training. So this is one I would recommend to get your employer to pay for if at all possible. In no particular order those are the ones I would say would be the best to do in the current job market.
Other vendor certifications are available, and again this comes back to what is relevant in your current job role. Maybe you're working with Juniper routers and switches as well as Cisco, which would mean it would make sense to do a Juniper certification.
Another thing to think about is the current and future trends.
