Hi,
I'm fairly new to cisco and I am pursuing the CCNA certification. I cannot decide wether to take the course at a school or do it on my own. The course I am thinking about taking at a school is the Cisco Networking Academy course. Of course the bebefits of that are that they have a nice lab to do all the practical stuff in and there is an instructor. The price isn't that much either. I already have the Cisco Press CCNA 640-607 exam book, and the ICND book, and a Cisco 1602 router. Would what I have now be enough to sufficiently learn the CCNA material? I also have a router simulator to go with it. Of course I'm not just worried about whether or not I'll pass the exam, I'd like to learn this stuff really well too. I've done other certifications on my own with no problems, but I'm worried that theres too much hands-on stuff (with Cisco) that I couldn't do on my own.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
