Alot of people can't take the monotone voice of Chris Bryant, but I find his geeky jokes humorous and his information plentiful. I tend to watch his videos before jeremy cioara only because to learn the information the first time around and get more in depth information - seems to be delivered better by Chris. Jeremy is very dynamic which makes learning the information the second time around enjoyable as well. My buddy did pass the CCNP route, he took two weeks worth of time to study up for it.
