    would u recommend using the chris bryant vidoes over cbt nuggets? ive been on the website ($25 Cisco CCENT Certification Exam Training 640-822 Study Guides) and its only $25, surely a steal at this price?

    I think it comes down to opinion, I find Chris’s resources really good and understandable for me, plus you get a guide also and can download all the videos for your own reference, all for $97
    I have looked at CBT stuff, I find Jeremy sometimes is lacking in the detail but in some cases you can grasp the concepts easier.

    Congrats! Don't take your foot off the pedal. Keep the momentum up and crush ICND2 while the ICND1 material is still fresh.

    Thats the plan, what are you currently working towards? and did you take the two exam paths? if so how long did it take you to study for both exams?

    I went the two exam path because I was currently sitting in a jr. network position at the time and they wanted a cisco-type cert for me to be in the position. So I earned the CCENT to secure my job and proceeded to bomb the ICND2 twice ncool.gif CCENT took oh, maybe a month or so (mostly because I was working in a networking shop) and ICND2 took 3 months or so. As for what I'm working now, I just passed CCNA Security last week (needed to renew my CCNA) and I followed my own advice and didn't take my foot off the pedal. I registered to take the CISSP exam in April. Not quite sure what I'll do if I pass the CISSP though; those two certs were my priorities for '12.

    Overall i thought it was good, alot of different topics and styles, i like it, while thinking about things i found the hardest topic for me was Wan stuff, and remember the correct way to subnet. how are you progressing for your ICND 2?

    CISSP is the mother of all information security certifications. It's like the CCIE of information security. I've been studying off and on for about 7 months now as it was always something I wanted to do but now that I've moved into a Security Engineer position, I figure now would be a perfect opportunity to close the deal. I would have started focusing on this cert earlier but I got a nastygram from Cisco telling me my CCNA was going to expire in 90 days so I found a happy medium and went the CCNA Security route. I renewed my CCNA and got a little bit of security-focused studies in to boot. :)

    Congrats! I too am using Chris Bryant's CCNA package from his website. I've gone through a couple sections and I'm doing pretty well with the included practice exam. Would you recommend another practice exam or was his sufficient?
