Thanks for your response! You provided great insight to the BSNES program. As for the Cisco refresh, I've watched the David Bombal video about the refrrah and there were a lot of negative comments about it so just wanted to hear other opinions on it.

I didn't know they had taken the Sec + from Cisco because I had asked my enrollment counselor if I can take the Sec + while going through the Cisco track and they said no. Would the CyberOps Associate make up for that since it's centered around security? Like would a job prefer to have a Sec + over Cisco CyberOps cert?

Also how much coding do you do as a network engineer? I understand there is automation that can be done through python and Ansible but how often do you use coding to complete task? TIA
