Hey man

For a real noob to networking...? Try going for N+ to get a general understanding of Network equipment and then if your into security you can start-off with Security+... Security+ is really a base starting point for Security T3chnicials...

The better way to train these courses would be to go do online eLearning.. www.sans.org is a great place to start.
