Doug, Since the Cisco Networking Academy CCNP program just started last year, I doubt anyone has completed all four courses (one per semester). In fact, we are teaching it for the first time this coming semester. I can state unequivocally though, that the BSCN course will over prepare you for the exam. As we start teaching the other courses, I'll be able to give you more information. Is it worth the investment in time? Well, that depends on your goals. If you just want to pass the exams, then I would say no. You can buy any number of good books, many of them mentioned on this list, and learn enough to pass. If however, you want a lot of hands-on with routers, switches, modems, frame-relay & ISDN simulators then I would think yes, it is worth the time. Will it help you get a job? I think so. The academy, because of it's emphasis on hands-on training, lifts you above the so called "paper" cert level. You actually get to practice on real equipment all the various topics covered in the exam plus additional items. Currently there are 50+ labs in the BSCN course alone! Of course I may be a little prejudiced here. :) HTH, Prof. Tom Lisa, CCAI Community College of Southern Nevada Cisco Regional Networking Academy doug wrote: Hi! I was wondering if anyone has take the CCNP 2 year course at the Cisco Networking Academy. If so, did you take a CISCO exam after each semester? Were the classes very helpful for the exam, or did you need additional study? Did you find that going to the Academy helped in finding a job? I am starting school next week and was just wondering if it's worth the 2 year investment in time.
