CCNA Videos compare before buying to study?

Hi folks:

Before I order the videos to watch and learn to know Cisco's stuff for CCNA I'm skeptical which videos are great, clear and hit directly to CCENT/CCNA exam between Jeremy Cioara from CBTnuggets 31 videos and Chris Bryant from Trainsignal 21videos. If you folks had watched and learned about them please give some suggets and comments or other sources as well.

Thanks

Having only used the cbt nuggets I can't fully comment but I did find these very helpfull and would recommend them.

On a side note that is one hell of a username and must be a right pain to remember

I was thinking the same thing....

If you can get both, I'd suggest doing that. But if not go with CBT Nuggets because I found it to be spot on and enjoyable! Train Signal is a little more boring, but goes into great detail!

I like the CCNA Video Mentor by Ciscopress

But I don't know if they have updated it for the new test yet

Both are very good, but have a very different style.

Jeremy is excellent at getting the information across in the CBT nuggets with a bit of humour thrown in and is very watchable.
Chris on the other hand sticks to the subject in a very dry and methodical manor in the train signal vids. I find it a bit more difficult to watch mostly due to the fact that the videos are a bit longer and seem to be packed with a bit more detail.

I'd agree with the previous comment that you can't go wrong by getting both if you can afford it, but if it came down to it i'd probably go with Chris Bryants purely down to the amount of content he gets across.

I can vouch for CBT Nuggets, I thought they were very easy to view while on the other hand I've looked through some of the material from videos from Chris Bryant while good content tend to put me to sleep, just something about his voice I guess.

Chris has been kind enough to exchange a few emails with me, so I'm kind of partial to him. I don't have anything against Jeremy, but I just haven't had any exposure to his material. Chris does provide excellent information. While it may not be entertaining, you can't go wrong with it. Just put the play speed on 1.8-2.0x and grab and energy drink. You'll be fine

I have had experiences with both for the ICND1/2 material. It's really hard to do a direct comparison but basically: The cbtnuggets are easy to watch and give you just enough material to do well on the test, while the Trainsignal videos are more boring but give you enough material to ACE the test. You decide what you need

The matter of fact is budget and I don't have plenty of it so I have to choose the right to be easy to study and simulate. You folks are awesome that stated out great source and I think I will grab CBTnuggets for now but thereafter, I seems I have to buy another set of CBTnugget for ICND2 is it right? Man, what a high

price...

, thanks all.

How long is it going to take you to get through them?

Why don't you just buy a one-month streaming subscription and save $100? You can even get more out of it if you take in some other videos. I take good notes and only watch the CBTs once anyway, and since you can't resell them, it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to own them.
