I just took a CCNA class with Todd Lammle two weeks ago, and passed my CCNA last week. I thought the class was a valuable way to learn networking and IOS, not a "teach to the test" affair. I thought the test was difficult and very thorough. More thoughts on my blog:
http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2005/03/passed-my-ccna-test-i-just-finished.html If you're referring to the variety of Cisco certs, you may have a point. Still, especially at the higher levels, it's simply too much for a CCIE to know voice, routing, switching, security, etc. to the level expected by Cisco. Specialization is the only way to test deep skills fairly.
