You don't need to go to school for it. You have to study and pass an exam or two. With the exams I took:
1) CCENT (Certified Entry Networking Technican)
- This is the entry-level Cisco certification (can't get this one any more after next month, I think).
- Took me about 3 months to study for and pass the exam
2) CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) Routing and Switching
- Took me about another 4 months to study for and pass the exam. Took me two tries to pass this one.
3) CCNA security
- Took me about 6 months of studying and 3 tries to pass this one.
4) CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional)
- This one requires 3 separate exams.
- CCNP ROUTE (Took me about 5 months of studying, I think)
- CCNP SWITCH (Took me about 3 months of studying. I was rushing to get through this because a company bought out the company I was working for and I hated the new place)
- CCNP TSHOOT (Took me about 2 weeks and 2 tries to pass the exam. The study guide was all review from the route and switch study guides, so I figured I'd just try the exam to see how I would do. The first time I failed by 10 points because I ran out of time.)
I also got a Cisco Meraki certification somewhere in the middle of all that because my job sent me to their official training class.
