If so how do they compare with the cbt nuggets video?

    Just started my membership today. I find it easier to follow than INE's videos and they have the "download" option so you can watch the videos offline so that makes it worth it when you aren't near an internet connection. Plus it's half the price of INE.com

    Do you think i can pass the 554 only with train signal? I don't care for ccna:security but it is required for my job to boost partnership.

    I would never trust just a video series in order to pass ANY exam. I would recommend the guide AND the video series

    ine videos have the download option too!
    I managed to get my hands on the new ccna sec videos for ~30$, however take my words with a grain of salt as I prefer reading/labbing. I think its alright, but I only watched ~25% of the total course before I decided I don't really like cisco in security regards anymore.. :)

    You have to pay extra on top of the $99/month All Access Pass in order to download from INE. It's anywhere from $49 - $2000 per course just to download it at INE - so it's not really an option for most of us. Trainsignal does not change you for this added on feature. It's simple $49/month and you can download, watch, whatever their materials.

It's anywhere from $149 - $2000 per course just to download it at INE - so it's not really an option for most of us. Trainsignal does not change you for this added on feature.

    Perhaps, but this regard a single course. In which case you will be able to download the entire course from ine. However this is seemingly off-topic and made on assumptions that the OP only wants to purchase video material for ccna:sec.
    To the OP it's hard to say as different teachers appeal to different people, some people do not like Chris while others do for various reasons.

    Per INE's site:



    Sizeon has mentioned in other posts his interests in gaining other certifications such as virtualization, Exchange, CCNP, MCITP:EA, etc and his limited budget at his current position so I'm giving him the best advice I can on which service to go for based on the entirety of what he's posted on his posts/ If someone is going for multiple certifications, $49/month is a much better deal than $49 for a one-time download from INE or $99/month for an All Access Pass from INE

    @Sizeon - If you want to give Trainsignal a try, send me a PM. I can get you a free trial for 2 weeks

    I'm halfway through the Trainsignal video series. It sure is different in delivery versus CBT Nuggets.

    If you are looking for a great lab manual for CCNAS, I strongly recommend the Cisco Network Academy Student Lab Manual Version 1.1. It's seriously heavy duty and comprehensive.

    Interesting, they've changed and/or updated CCNA icnd1/icnd2 videos, they used to be from another instructor.

    So for $49 a month you can also download videos for offline viewing?

    What's to keep someone from downloading 3 months worth of videos and only keeping the subscription for 1?

    Because you have to download them through their player and and you don't sign in through their player at least once a week while online, your videos will get locked and you won't be able to play them

    I have a Nexus 10. Do you think I'd be able to play the videos on my tablet.
