CCNA Audio Books

jibbajabba

I found these two on iTunes yesterday



I know my way around with Cisco gear but I would still consider myself a beginner. I do have the CCNA CBTs and Trainsignal as well (just currently preparing my ipod for long commutes) and was wondering how good or bad they are ?

I listened to a sample and at least the way it is spoken is nice, but I'd prefer to know about the content before actually buying them ...

Why don't you just rip the audio off the CBT's? or convert the CBT videos for your ipod?

https://learningnetworkstore.cisco.com/market/prod/listSubCatMLearning.se.work?TRGT=85&/nxt/rcrs/=2532

plus the older but still good videos

look for iptv towards the bottom and the webx sessions
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-1297

and iptv archive
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-2549

should be a few hours worth

They are FAA approved flight aids for navigation (for a few small carriers)

not approved over here by CASA yet but its still a lot easier than having to carry 3 to 8 paper charts which have to be unfolded before use.

App Store - OzRunways EFB

Have a private pilots license but not current (to expensive).

I picked up the "Mastering the CCNA Audiobook" for my commute (I think it was $10 US). I was hoping it would be more detailed, but it's akin to the CBTs in that it talks a lot of theory with light detail. The actor reading is good quality as you noted. Honestly, I've only listened to it once and haven't found interest to listen again. Maybe try grabbing some podcasts?
