I saw many of times here that people request here for dumps and confuse that how to start CCNA study? What is the best video training? etc. The main mission of sadikhov dat com isnt producing more and more braindumpers which already is happening here.Braindumper born in CCNA(all associate levels i mean CCDA etc) forums and then they create prob in CCNP(All professional levels i mean CCNP&CCSP etc) forums. So i decided to post a brief note on that.
It will be dedicated to all CISCO guys who are really studying and doing hardwork and have 0% relay on dumps. CCNA is very simple you just need to hang with me for few mints.
How to prepare CCNA?
There are 2 possibilities:
1. U already joined or looking for an institute.
or
2. U are self studying.
1. Regular CCNA study through institute :-
If you can afford and u find any well reputed and well equipped (with all necessary cisco devices) institute in your area then you should consider ur self lucky and take the admission ASAP. It is highly recommended way of study i suppose because you can work on real routers and switches and learn live through good teachers.
Note:- I already wasted my few months and money in 2 low level institutes so please while deciding institute ask the current/X students of that institute.
My own qout = = > ”Read before the teacher teach.”
Always try to study the topic which the teacher don’t teach you yet i mean next lecture.By this way you can ask more questions to teacher at real time beause u already knew the basics of that topic + this isn’t new for you and when teacher will teach you, your all doubts will be clear and i found it v v helpful for long life/better understand.
2. CCNA through self study :-
i) If you have a network background then u can start with CISCO press books but i recommend for fresh net workers to use sybex press because it is easy as compared to CISCO for beginners.
Note:- CCNA Curriculum 4 modules is highly recommended for making strong CISCO basics.If you belongs from span then you are lucky bcz a Spanish version is also available on sadikhov.
You should also study through video trainings bcz
a) These are made for whole world not for any specific institute/students.
b) You can take same lecture as many times as you want and at any suitable time when u have some free time for study.
c) Almost in all video trainings u can view live labs on live routers so it would also strong ur Lab knowledge.
d) Almost all are free on sadikhov so u need not worry to buy these.
Here is the list of recommended & all major video trainings provider companies.
1. [Train’signal] ICND1 & 2 <==== Recommended
2. Cisco press (CCNA video mentor)<===== Recommended
3. Cbtnuggets (640-802)<==== Recommended
4. knowledgenet
5. Testout
5. [learnskey]
6. Careeracademy
7. Globalknowledge
You can try only one or two types but i don’t recommend to use all of the above 7 mentioned. I personally like [Train’signal] and it is upon you that what you find better for you. There are 3 options to start study with these stuff.
a) books===>then videotraings.
b) Videotraining===>then books.
c) books + video trainings at same time.
Mr personal experience says that option b is better bcz as you go through 1 or 2 times with video training then you read book and you will feel that this book is very easy LOL. Anyway its upon you that what u like.
Related Exam: 640-822, 642-642, 642-812, 642-446, 640-553, 640-802.
Real world tip :-
My way of study is that i also convert them in audio mp3 form(by using Allok AVI-MPEG-WMV-RM-to-MP3-Converter) and listen while on bed, on driving or any relax time.But only for revision so these topics are easily sit in my mind forever.You can try it i hop it will be very helpfull.
2ndly many CCIE stuff provider companies are making audio boot camp for example Ipexprt dat com ,videoed dat com etc so this little habit also will help to you in future when you will enter in CCIE game.
