CBT Nuggets or Learnkey or Keystone

[mcoxx]

I am thinking of buying some CCNA and CCNP CBT materials. Which is the best one to go for - CBT Nuggets or Learnkey or Keystone?

Thanks

I found learnkey had a lot better content than CBT, cant speak for Keystone. The CBT nuggets seems to be more of a revision type material and learnkey which takes you through step by step. Either way the guys that do the videos are annoying as hell on the CCNA and BSCI!

I used the learnkey cds and they were ok. You cant take the test on just these alone, buy the books sybex or cisco press.

I used the CBT nuggets videos. Their good but at times you can use them instaed of sleeping pills.

The CCIE on CBT nuggets is the best CBT I have ever used.

mcoxx,
I agree with Jsteve, I think the CBT Nuggets are very good, but you still need several books with the CBTs to learn it well.

I like -

1) Books - Cisco Press and Sybex to cover it well, Cisco Press covers in GREAT detail and Sybex tends to cover just what is on the Exam!

2) CBTs - CBT Nuggets for a break from reading and to get a different view on things - I read STP many times but watching it expl in a video on a whiteboard helped to make more sense. Same for Frame Relay and several other topics.

3) Hands on labs - with sims and or with real Cisco Routers and switches.

I have only viewed one older CCNA LearnKey tape, it was good but no way that I feel someone would have been ready for a Cisco exam. They also seem to be very expensive $$$$.

This might seem like a lot, but I want my students to know the subject and find jobs, not just pass an exam as a paper CCNA or MCSE.

I hope this helps!!
