I have to agree. I took the CCNP boot camp and although I was happy that I passed the CCNP afterwards, I was very dissapointed with the course and the knowledge I gained from it. The course gives you just enough to get by the exam. If I had to do it again I certainly would not have gone through the boot camp. I had a hard time relating the material I learn in class to real world issue. The course material was good for some referencing but not to get you through real-world issue. That is were the months or year(s) of hands-on comes into play. Whatever you decide to do try to get your company to pay for it because it is not cheap. If they dont...well atleast you will have a tax right-off. Good luck.

They cram everything. Not a good idea if you want to be a good cisco engineer. I pass the CCNP by reading the books and taking a regular class, and messing with some lab routers at my job. My company paid for it. Try to get your company to pay it if possible. By reading the Cisco press books (comes in a bundle of 4), and exam crams, you'll be fine. Take the time to read the materials. You'll be better off. rbx10 ccie-wishman Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71834&t=71811 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
