How I Plan On Studying For CCENT/ICND1

This is show I plan on studying for the first part of the CCNA R&S exam.

MATERIALS:

1. CBT Nuggets

I am going to be using Jeremy Cioara's CCENT course on CBT Nuggets. These videos have been recommended by a lot of people and this is the first thing I'm going to do.

2. Books

I have the Official Cert Guide by Odom and this is going to be the main book I'm going to use.

I also have Todd Lammle's CCENT book as a PDF. I might use this as reference for some topics.

3. Labs

I am using Packet Tracer and GNS3. I cannot afford a hardware lab, so I'm going to be using a Virtual Lab.



STUDY PLAN:

First Step:

I'm going to go through the CBT Nuggets videos and make a lot of notes from them.

Second Step:

Packet Tracer and GNS3 Labs with the videos.

Third Step:

Use the books and study the whole portion to perfect it.

Fourth Step:

Practice questions using 1001 CCNA questions book and other sources.

Company 2 had 1 other security person, and I would be person 2, which would have been a great opportunity to learn and grow with. I took a few days and talked to a bunch of people in my family and even posted on Reddit to get advice on...

Why did I create this blog?

Two Words: Career Journal This is basically a journal to my journey in InfoSec. It helps me keep tab of things and keeps me motivated. What I want to accomplish with this blog: My goal is to inform people about my findings, projects and share the resources I used to learn.
