GCIA - Self Study

Hey Thought I'd take another persons Opinion before I gunned in the wrong direction.

My Boss appreciated my GCIH pass and wants me to up the ante a bit. GCIA is on his mind as I have already attended the GSEC and the GCIH.

But he is going to give me a self study option only. No Exam included. I might do that myself. :D

What do you get in the self study ? Mp3 and Books only ?

I know when you challenge the exam you get two Practice tests.

Opinions and suggestions are always welcome !

Or I could wait for the Class to come to India and then try the work study !

Cheers !

    Books and CD w/Tools. No MP3. If you don't have a networking background it's going to be a rough ride. It's mostly packet capture analysis, log/snort rule sets and how to ID malicious/suspicious traffic using the tools (Wireshark, Snort, tcpdump, etc). I think they also go over Scapy and how to create your own packets.

    503 is probably my most memorable SANS course. I did it via OnDemand, but I wish I had taken live instruction.

    Mp3 will be useless you have the books. All questions are based on the content in the books. I am not sure how you can do the self study as the topics are vast.

    You get the books and the Mp3 and two practice tests in the self study option. I am assuming 3 Months of reading and rereading the books should be good !

    Approval fell through !

    They think that the courses I have done are good enough for the next year as well. They promised to help recertify the ones I have and to get the gcia.

    I am waiting on the Work Study selection for 408 or 560 in the next month. Should be getting an email this week for sure !

    Fingers crossed !
