CCNA in 60 days??

biggene

Hi folks,

I am in the process of studying (or attempting to study anyways) for my CCNA, and I was wondering if anyone has tried this book and video series out?

Cisco CCNA in 60 Days: Paul Browning, Farai Tafa: Amazon.com: Kindle Store

Supposedly, you can use this to go from noob to CCNA in 60 days, but after having watched the CCENT videos from CBTNuggets, I am very skeptical of this.
Anyone have any opinions on the course and book?

Thanks for your time,
Gene

I can vouch for Farai knowing his stuff technically and being able to explain things reasonably well. I have not tried this particular offering of his.

60 days is a reasonable timeline. I completed mine much faster. Some people aren't capable of completing it at all, but 60 days is doable for most people.

but after having watched the CCENT videos from CBTNuggets

Different product, different author, different vendor methinks. The connection?

I went from noob to CCNA in about 60 days. You need to be dedicated to studying.

Not read the book. It's a new one right?
Farai is a double CCIE and Paul Browning's a CCNP. Both do a lot of Cisco related material together and they have their own website.
As for the 60 days, well thats kinda subjective. I think if you have no experience of Cisco and very little networking knowledge then it will take significantly longer to gain both a CCENT and CCNA.
