ABOUT THE BOOK

Do any of the following problems sound familiar to you?

“I just don’t know where to start studying. I feel overwhelmed by the information.”

“I’ve bought all the CBT-style videos and books, and have even been on a course, but I don’t feel ready to take the exam and I don’t know if I ever will.”

“I’ve been studying for a long time now, but I haven’t booked the exam yet because I just don’t feel ready.”

For every ten students who start out towards the CCNA qualification, nine quit. They don't quit because of laziness but because they became overwhelmed with information and didn't even know where to start. They sat down to study from one of the 'big name' manuals and half an hour later found themselves staring blankly at the same page. Can you imagine how frustrating that feels?

You see, most authors throw you in at the deep end and expect you to get on with it. They forget that you have a full time job, a long journey back home, family commitments and any number of challenges going on in your life. The last thing you have time for is to write out a detailed study plan with plenty of review sessions.

If only somebody could tell you what to study each day, every day. If only you could open your study guide and see which bit of theory to read, which lab to do and which exam to take. You could then get on with the task of studying and getting that exam nailed.

This is where Cisco CCNA in 60 Days comes in. Written in response to feedback from thousands of students using my online CCNA in 60 days program, my classroom courses and my other online Cisco training websites this book is the final piece in the studying puzzle.

HOW IT WORKS

Every day you read your theory module, you review yesterdays lesson, do a lab and then answer some review questions.

The next day you do the same until you reach the review sessions where you cement all your knowledge with more labs and review as well as some practise exams. If that wasn't enough, you have a cram guide to read daily and an online Subnetting review site to really hone your subnetting skills.

At the 30 day mark you can take your CCENT exam and move into your ICND2 study sessions or just take your CCNA exam at the end of 60 days. If you fall behind no problem, just pick up where you left off.

Having a problem with motivation and distractions? No problem, just read the detailed goal setting guide to turbo boost your productivity and motivation.

WHAT'S COVERED?

Every subject Cisco want you to know for your exams is covered with labs, theory, exams, reviews and crams. From RIP to OSPF, from VLSM to CIDR, IPv4 to IPv6, STP to CDP. Every exam topic is covered in detail many times over.

Just when you think you are ready you are hit with challenge labs and more exams to ensure you are more than ready for the tricky Cisco exams. There are over 60 labs in total. Some with careful explanations and some you have to work out for yourself.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Paul Browning used to work at Cisco TAC but left in 2002 to start his own Cisco training company. He has authored several Cisco manuals as well as created one of the biggest online Cisco training websites used by many thousands of students.

Farai Tafa is a dual CCIE who consults for large blue chip companies in the USA. He is an expert in network design and installation as well as an acknowledged expert in voice and security.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 3 Feb 2013

I bought the Kindle version and this is an excellent choice for a better price than "official" CiscoPress product. The language is good for beginners and also fine for someone like me who's getting re-certified like me. The IP Subnet calculator cheat sheet is a must have knowledge for an exam. This book will help you to get certified without too much stress and if you need it can create a good learning structure by this 60 days method, however I don't think 60 days really need for CCNA, you can take 2-3 lessons per day :)

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC! 23 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Let's be honest, there a LOTS of CCENT/CCNA books on the market, most of them are fairly decent now days, however, they do seem to waffle on a bit! This book gives you the raw facts that you need to know for the exam, and for real life, and not only that, it also touches on things which are a step beyond CCNA, so you understand how some of the technologies work beyond what you're supposed to know for the exam! In the end this helps a lot, as you have a much deeper understanding of what's going on. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to pass there CCENT/CCNA.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is different 15 Jan 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been trying to study CCNA for a few years and could never get myself to keep going. I have attended two CCNA courses and one of them was really very good. I did, however not feel confident enought to do the exam afterwards. I have a few CCNA books on my bookshelf but they seem to be more like reference manuals than study manuals.

Paul and Farai presents the info in bite-size lessons. This suits me especially well as I am in full time employment and I have a family. I manage to do a good amount of learning on the train (if I get a seat) and I do my labs when I get home. I have not taken the exam yet but at least I know when I will be taking the exam and I feel confident that I will be prepared if I stick to the program. In my (slightly limited) experience of this book, I would recommend it for easy of use and removing the uncertainty. Paul and Farai answers my questions of
Am I covering everyting?
Am I not wasting time on unnecessary stuff?
Where do I start?

Oh and I now actually understand subnetting and VLSM.....!
