In recent weeks, I have had the opportunity to review the CBT Nuggets CCNA package. The product consists of 4 CD's containing a number of training videos on each, covering all the CCNA objectives. The training style of the nuggets is unlike the normal methods of classroom training or reading from a book, but rather an excellent combination of the two. This method removes the monotony of the text book and the inconvenience of the classroom. Each video presents new theories and concepts, followed by actual examples and working of the theory on actual routers, switches and PCs. Emilio Valdez is an excellent tutor with his expert knowledge of both Cisco products and the CCNA, combined with a simplistic teaching style and well interjected with humour. These nuggets are well suited to both the student with little or no Cisco knowledge, through to the experienced engineer looking to complete the CCNA. Each theory is taught not only to examination level, but beyond that, to complete understanding in a real world scenario. In my opinion, this is definitely the best CCNA prep software available. I will most definitely be using Emilio's CCNP nuggets in the next step of my Cisco certification path. For more information on CBT Nuggets' products or to try their free demos, click here.
