Online or Video training?
Online or Video training?
(OP)
I'm looking for any thoughts as to online or video training. Is it any good? I live in an area that is a six hour drive to any Cisco training center, and was wondering if anyone knew of good online training, or good video training that I can order that would be helpful. I'm looking at either IINS or ROUTE, but prefer IINS. Anyone use any of this and felt is was worthwhile? I do have a pretty good lab in the basement to work with, but it's a long way, and a steep hotel bill to go somewhere for a week and take a classroom course, although I'd prefer that, of course. (no pun intended)

The CBT Nuggets are very good for computer based training and videos and they have lots of FREE trials on their website as long as you register - with the free trials you can get a feel if these are for you because they are not cheap!!!

I personally have seen CBT Nuggets for MCSE and several CompTIA certs as well as CCNA and CCNP - all were very well done but would be used in addition to several good books and hands on labs
Hope this helps!!

I have been seeing that INE and IPExpert have been starting to offer more stuff on the CCxP series. Think CCBootcamp was also starting to get into more of it. If nothing else, it's worth checking out the websites for what they have to offer.
But, don't try and bypass the books, or labs, like everyone says. Those have to be the #1 source for the learning IMO.

So far it's been pretty good too. A new product, so a few bugs in it, but overall been a great addition. Thing I like the best is it's not really a subscription thing so it goes away in a year. It's mine for good.
