The CCNA was my first test. I was not able to register for the beta on time,
but I did have the added benefit of going through the Cisco Systems
Networking Academy. I have to say that the Networking Academy did prepare me
for the CCNA. I spent 3 weeks of reviewing after the fourth semester class
was over. I was also familiar with how Cisco 'words' their tests. It's
something you pick up on while taking all the quizzes and the semester
exams.
Much of my Cisco hardware experience is limited to the Academy. The hardware
included Cisco 25xx, Cisco 26xx, and Catalyst 19xx, and various cloud
emulators. I personally have Cisco 2502 and a Catalyst 2924xl en, and I have
other experience on 3com equipment. (Hint: Catalyst switches are part of the
curriculum, and we were quizzed on it. I can't say anymore than that...) It
seems to me that the v2.0 exam follows the Networking Academy's curriculum.
This maybe true for CCNP 2.0 since Cisco is starting to offer classes on it.
Their starting to offer the CCNP classes locally. I've seen the 55xx and
50xx.
