[Info] Straw poll.Morning all, Following on from a developing discussion here » Packet Tracer LabsI was wondering, how many of us have been through the Cisco Academy to gain our certs? I'll start... Markysharkey - No |

Went through them then never actually got the cert. Went back 2 years later and did it on my own. So No / maybe? |

YES, went through CNAP for CCNA and passed it on the first attempt like 10 years ago. I had better instructors than the written curriculum though. |

No
Did it the old fashioned way. Picked up the books and PDFs from Pearson Education. Read. And read. And read some more. And I spent a considerable amount of time on my lab understanding VLSM, trunking, frame relay, and routing.
It took me two tries, but I passed. |

Yes. I took the CCNA 4 semester course through Networking Academy. In addition to the Packet Tracer simulator offered with the other online material, the school I chose had a nice lab setup so we got hands-on with real gear. That was a big plus IMO. |

I did the cisco academy via school around 2004, the school had a great teacher.
good times, but didn't have the money for the cert test at the time. |

Of the 4 instructors I had, I'd rate 3 as very good, while 1 was just OK. I procrastinated but finally took and passed the combo exam about a year later. |
