I attending the Cisco Network Academy in Community College a couple of years ago, I also watched CBT nuggets and Train Signal (Train Signal was with a play back speed of 1.1x - 1.3x depending how slow and boring he sounded in the videos)

After taking it the first time I got Train signal and studied a little more on WLANs (because It was my worse subject), WAN links, and refreshed my memory on subnetting. The first time I made some stupid mistakes because I didn't practice much before hand.

That's a hard question to answer really...
The Cisco Network Academy is 4 semesters
The video training I might have watched 25-30 hours worth of video.

Congratulations P! Wish I could do the same. I am sort of dragging myself on the CCENT for the past year. This year, I look forward to passing CCENT and CCNA (if all possible, of course).

Anyway, questions are:

1) Are there network labs in the CCENT exam? If there are, are command lines supposed to be written completely such as ENABLE for en, or CONFIGURE TERMINAL for conf t?

2) Can you skip a question and go back later before submitting the final exam? Heard that you can't do that.

Thanks very much in advance.

1) from my understanding for the ICND1 you won't need to go into global configuration mode on the test, but you will need to know the commands inside global configuration mode.
2) once you answer a question, there is no going back.

How much did Cisco Network Academy help you prepare for the exam? Did you take the Discovery or Exploration course? I just started the Exploration course two weeks ago. Will you be doing CCNA (ICND2) next?

I did the exploration. Without it I would have had alot harder time passing. If I paid more attention in class I'm sure i'd be CCNA by now... instead I was lazy.

At the moment I'm thinking about getting a microsoft cert before I do the ICND2 There's alot more entry level jobs for microsoft than there is for cisco and I need to find work.

Congrats on the pass! Good luck with the CCNA

Cool. I plan to take CCENT after the first module. Of course gonna buy some books for it to study from. I'm having a hard time reading the chapters from the NetAcad website so will probably buy the Exploration books too.

After CCENT will try to do a couple MS certs as well (70-680 and ??).
