I just cleared my ICND1. So it is time to finally get my CCNA. I'm going to follow the same method of studying I did for the CCENT. 1. CBT Nuggets I trust Jeremy Cioara to keep me motivated throughout the whole course. I am going to continue studying with CBTNuggets. If I think I need some other video course, I will buy the David Bombal course on Udemy. 2. Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom  The OCG for the ICND1 was absolutely amazing. There is so much information that you'll get lost in it. I am going to continue with this book as I need the knowledge. 3. Boson Ex-sim This was the reason I passed the CCENT. I am going to buy the exma for the CCNA too. I love their explanations and it will give me a real exam experience and I can judge myself when I take their exams. Hopefully, I get CCNA certified before December. That is the GOAL. I want to complete the certification before my semester exams in college.  Thanks for reading! AZID

I am so happy that I cleared the exam! I am a college student and travel 130kms everyday so I could study only from 8pm to midnight. I worked very hard for this exam. In my country, people usually go to training centers and bootcamps to clear this exam, but they usually use dumps and don't teach well. I WANTED TO ACTUALLY LEARN. I needed the knowledge of these topics because I want to get into cybersecurity. So I took the Self-Study path. I tried studying slowly from January of this year, but never really understood anything and just watched the videos for the sake of it. But when the Feb deadline news came I knew I had no option and became fully focused. I re-watched all videos and took ton of notes. Then moved on to the book and then finished with the practice exams. What I used: CBT ...
