Certification Kits note

SephStorm

So I was just reading the CertificationKits ASA lab guide/study guide and honestly, I like it. Its straight to the point and looks like a good supplement to your ASA studies. I have to assume that their other guides are of similar quality. For negatives, they use the locked ebooks, so i'm sure it wont be easy to use on multiple devices. But its something to consider.

Are you referring to the Certification Kit site advertised on TE? (Cisco Certification Kits: CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, used and new router sand switches.) I always wondered what their content was like since im thinking of picking up their CCNA:security kit.

SephStorm

Yes, their kits are over priced undoubtedly, however their lab suggestions are good, and based on what i've seen their lab guides/study guides are probably decent as well. If anything, buy your equipment off ebay based on the recommendations and get the extras separately.

Disclaimer: I do have a slight affiliation with them via a project that we are both involved in. But there is a ton of good reading on that site. And you could definitely do worse buying prebuilt kits on eBay. Such as a few bundles my company has sold to clear out old equipment.

Good to know... I have always wondered about the labs that I noticed on their promotions. I may pick up a kit to try out.

@alan2308 - I agree that ebay can be a bit hit and miss. My previous company also offloaded some 'questionable' cisco gear on there and I would have hated to be the buyer. I'm sure it's worth a little extra $$ to not have to worry about the hassle of dealing with any problems and taking time away from the end goal....studying.

@SephStorm - thanks for the info about the study & lab guides. I will definitely need extra material when I get around to CCNA in WGU.

Yea, but it goes both ways on there. We had a buyer raise a dispute because the 2600 that she bought for $20 didn't come with any modules so it was non-functional. LOL

Google Calibre. A good application for E-book management. Would allow you to unlock them for moving to another device. Just be sure to delete them once your rental is over.
