How to get my CCNA by nirvaeh

"Very hard test, but well worth the money and hard work."

How I did it: Studied CBT Nuggets. Practiced on routers and swtiches.
Read books. Had my friends quiz me.  Watched all videos straight through without skipping or getting distracted.  Purchased the test with a "deadline" date of 3 weeks from that day so it made me study knowing my test was around the corner.

Lessons & tips: Watch CBT Nuggets.

Go with your gut.

Resources: CBT Nuggets

How I did it: I have a basic of Information system degree not related much to networking but close enough. I do work as network engineer but no certifications at that time. I took the express course on CCNA, bought myself some good books - one of them from Todd Lammle. Bought CBTNuggets video tutorial with the author Jeremy Ciaora. Visit blogs and sites about Cisco and CCNA and learn A LOT from them. Read how I did it…

    Study Update 5 months ago

    Currently done with almost two thirds of the train signal course and starting Chapter 6 in the study guide (Lammle). Figured I would group the various videos with the chapters that they correspond to in the study guide.

    20 more days to go… I’m also taking off 3 days from work to do more studying.

    How I got mine: 8 months ago

    Failed 801 exam.

    Passed 802 exam using the below. (Not sure the 802 was easier, but there was no more ISDN and very little Frame Relay.)

    Stayed after class at college many times to play around with routers and swtiches.

    Watched CBTNuggets ICND1 and ICND2 with the author Jeremy Ciaora. I watched all of the videos, paying attention and not skipping them. You may think you know, but Jeremy will show you that you don’t. These videos are amazing! Anyone would agree.

    Spent about 3 weeks of doing nothing but studying the videos and router/switch sims.

    Sucks for you guys 13 months ago

    Sucks for you guys who have to pay tons of money to take these courses. I am in High School 17 years old and they offer them for free CCNA 1-2 and CCNA 3-4 classes. Its good for colleges to see that I am CCNA certified but I am not too sure what kind of wonders this thing would do for a job resume.
