What is the best approach to start learning ZScaler as a beginner?

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner and after many interviews I managed to reach an agreement with a potential employer to start learning Zscaler.

The problem is that I’m not sure where to start. I visited the Zscaler website and saw that they have e-learning, but I can’t seem to get access to it.

I do have some basic networking knowledge – I passed the CompTIA Network+ exam and I understand the theory fairly well. I’ve also worked a little with basic networking tasks, but I lack real hands-on experience.

Because of that I’m a bit unsure what the best approach would be. Should I first focus more on learning Cisco and improving my networking skills, and only then move to Zscaler?

I also found some videos on YouTube, including on Zscaler’s official channel, but they seem somewhat random and I can’t really find a clear learning path.

Would it make sense to ask this potential employer for access to the Zscaler Academy or their training platform?

Any advice on how a beginner should start learning Zscaler would be greatly appreciated because I want to start with the right direction.
