in CCNA & CCENT
I'm going to a place that offers CCNA lessons for $1099, I though that's a pretty good deal, I did try learning the ccna book by myself and I the vast majority of it, I stopped reading at the lab work.
I remember reading that book, the 600+ something pages took me quite a long time, it was over months that I managed to read it, I wonder how it's possible for them to teach me the CCNA over just 6 lessons? should I be worried? They have however had a lot of good testimonials, so I'm giving it a go, the CCNA would be $350 to take the test by itself and they include a free test.

Optionsrowelld Member Posts: 176In my opinion, $1099 is a lot. Do they offer a guarantee where if you don't pass you get your money back? Just sounds like another bootcamp but for 6 weeks.Visit my blog: http://www.packet6.com - I'm on the CWNE journey!

And $1000 is pretty expensive. As said above, you can get GNS3 (free download I believe) and practice sims on that, plus there are a ton of videos on Youtube covering the exam topics pretty well. That, plus the book you read will help you out or you can buy books with practice exams. They are usually around $60 new. Definitely cheaper than $1000+. Good luck!

On another note, if you buy some cisco gear 2x2950 1x3550 and 3xrouters (about 350 total maybe 400) and do the labs the concepts stick better. and knowing the concept means nothing if you don't know the commands to implement it (you'd be a paper ccna)To Script or not to Script, that is the question.

Optionsbinarysoul Member Posts: 993For an exam like Cisco, I think it's vital we know how to do things, get our hands dirty than watching someone else explain or do stuff. A bit of guidance is good from a mentor, but on exam day, it's us alone vs. a speedy exam!
