All depends on how much experience you have with Cisco products and overall
network knowledge. If your looking for a career change and plan on taking
the CCNA exam as your first IT Cert, it can and will be a very intimidating
exam. For those of us who have been in the field for a few years and have
experience with Cisco equipment, the CCNA exam will seem pretty painless.
But enjoy it, because the moment you leap forward to the CCNP exam, there
are no more easy rides!

Yes, I also agree, a couple of people i work with have recently taken the
CCNA
and passed, after a little push from me and a couple of others. They thought
it was going to be hard and over studied for it, when they knew the stuff
all
the time. Having said that I did the same when I did the CCNA. Good look
from
me too !
