CCNA AudioBook

in CCNA & CCENT
I do a lot of traveling between different buildings - the closest being 100 miles away. Since I'm studying on the CCNA (the one exam route) I'd like to get some extra studying in by listening instead of reading.

I've been looking at the PrepLogic site - they seem good, but I'm not sure about diving into something that isn't good.

Has anyone on here ever purchased an AudioBook, if so... who did you use?

    I had Todd Lammle's audio course and I don't think it was the greatest. Instead, I just ripped the audio from the CBT Nuggets videos and listened to that instead.

    I take the text from Cisco Press ICND I & II (Odom's books via peachpit) and convert it to audio with an app called ghost reader (for Mac). If you can find a good TTS app, then just convert your ebooks. It works well with a bit of editing. Also, a lot of folks rip the audio from CNTs like pham0329 stated above. I have yet to try that. Otherwise, I havent come across any audio that looks like it's worth the expenditure.

    Next up: eventually the RHCE and to start blogging again.

    i back up all my training videos to MP3s by recording the audio from my sound card. i also record myself reading my notes and key points from different sources. i listen to them when i travel and run errands instead of the radio so i'm always learning. pretty soon you start to know the material the same way you know the words to your favorite songs.

    I think I bought this audio book in question while I was studying the CCNA. I would not count on it for full training but its good to just put it on in the car and listen. Helped me retain a lot threw repetition.

    BTW I am shipping you back your box today, threw in a couple extra goodies icon_thumright.gif

    That's exactly what I had done over the weekend, hopefully it'll be okay to use this since I won't be seeing the slides. I have a good imagination.

    Woohoo! Can't wait to get the box back! Much appreciated! I like goodies, unless it's poop, then I don't like goodies.

    I took my CBT Nuggets videos (CCNA) and converted them to audio. I listen to them on my commute to and from work. This really helps me retain a lot of information through repetition. Good luck in your studies!

    I also use the ccna cbt nuggets video as a source of audio training on the go . I find Jeremy to be entertaining.

    how do you extract the audio from a video source?
    I'm an Xpert at nothing apart from remembering useless information that nobody else cares about.

    Could probably record the audio from the mass of videos on Youtube too.
