cbtnuggets videos, useful???

[jdl508]

Hello,
I recieved an email to day from cert21.com saying they had cbtnuggets videos on sale. I am currently studying for ccnp exams and am curious if anyone has found these helpful, are they almost as good as having an instructor there or do they just review the books. To date I have been doing selfstudy read the books, then do ALL the labs from a full erase start every time, (really trying to drive it home) anyway sometimes i get stuck on topics that you just need that outside source to help with. Anyway If anyone knows about these videos please let me know, the training classes for ccnp are alot of $$$.
thanks
jdl

Hi,

I can speak to the CBT Nuggets for the CCNA. I thought they were very helpful for driving home difficult CCNA topics. Just like having an instructor in a box.

I just passed the CCNA, and am starting to work on CCNP BSCI. The CBT Nuggets web site shows a mid-year release of a Nuggets cd for BSCI. If it is as thorough as the CCNA series was, I will find it very helpful.

Good luck!

I used the cbtnuggets ccna videos. I think they were really good, but I found it hard to find the time to watch the videos. I think it ended up taking me 6 months to get through them all!

They're good in that they'll talk to you about concepts on a whiteboard, and then they'll jump into a router and show you a live example.
