    Hello everyone, I know there have been previous post on this subject. I have read them. I hope you take the time to help me "not waste" money. I decided to go for a 2 router setup. I will go through CiscoKits. I know ebay may save me some money, but Cisco kits seems to be reputable. Now I plan...

    Is CCNA for me? (Feedback please)

    CiscoGuy, Thanks! I agree w/you 100% "I would say that CCNA taught me the most in basic networking which is the foundation for all else - I even think Microsoft students (having taken MCSE classes) would be better servered by doing the CCNA first unless they have a strong networking...

    Is CCNA for me? (Feedback please)

    Dan and CiscoGuy, I guess this is directed to DAN. I noticed along w/Comptia certs you have MCSE and CCNP,CCSP. Which Cert furthered your career and, This is for both of you, what type of work do you do? Do you do any type of troubleshooting? I guess im asking these questions because I feel im...

    Is CCNA for me? (Feedback please)

    Thats interesting. I started thinking about that myself. Especially since I have A+,Net+,Server+,Security+. If I were to go that route. I believe A+ and Net+ can be used as an elective. Also with Security+ I can have MSCA/Security+. I guess whats steering me towards CCNA is working w/Routers...

    Training Video DVD

    I thought Id throw in my 2 cents. Give www.testout.com a look. I used Learnkey and thought they were very good...but they can't compare to "testouts" cbt's. I used Testout to pass my Security + and scored an 860 of a possible 900. I plan on picking up the CCNA CBT soon along with the Bryant...

    Hello everyone, I posted here once upon a time. I just finished passing Security +. (A+, Net+, Server+, Security+) My job is really pushing Certs, esp comptia & MSCE....but not paying for books or classes. they do cover the exam if you pass(sigh). I do field service work, MFD's, printers...

    Passed Security +

    Hello all, I passed with an 860. I must give Kudos to Testout.com CBT's. They really prep you and have simulations too. I know comptia doesnt use simulations...but I like the way Testout not only explains something, they give you the oportunity to do it. I planned on taking this exam in...
