CBT's for the CCDA

christoff

Hi there,

does anyone here have any experience in using a CBT to assist in the CCDA cert? If you do can you please give me some insight as to how you found them?

Thanks
Chris

I can't say I am up to the CCDA knowledge level myself. I am still learning how desktop/server stuff all comes together. Designing is way down the road for me.

BUT, I did a quick search and found this for you. $200 ain't bad. Personally, I am pushing my company to buy a streaming subscription from CBTnuggets. I though it would be great because we have such a variety of user levels...

The only CBT Nuggets available for the CCDA at present are for the old exam, 640-861. If you purchase them they will not cover all of the subject areas required for the 640-863 - $200 wasted.

You could contact CBT to see if they have any in pre-production for the 640-863.

In the mean time if you're planning to go ahead with this exam, I suggest you use the below books for your study, if you have to choose one go for the Diane Teare book. I have them both and Teare is much easier to understand for topics that are new to you/not completely familiar with.
