  Thanks Biggie for moving the thread to appropriate section.
  Tagging #-Link-Snipped-# here.
  
  I've started preparation with the first topic from #-Link-Snipped-#:

  CAN YOU GIVE DETAILS OF CCIE CERTIFICATION & SCOPE.

  there are 7 CCIE certifications, which one are you looking for?
  CCIE Routing and Switching
  CCIE Security
  CCIE Service Provider
  CCIE Service Provider Operations
  CCIE Storage Networking
  CCIE Voice
  CCIE Wireless
  
  & SCOPE- without work experience worthless.
  reason-1) Employers will think you are overqualified.
  2) or suspect you will charge a fortune for your services.
  (no offense, it's my outlook, if you are passionate about networking and have lots of money then go ahead)

  None
  there are 2 paths for CCIE-
  1. pass step-by-step CCNA-----CCNP--------CCIE(written+lab)
  2. directly go for CCIE(written+lab)

  I say ok!
  But what exact guidance is needed?Incase clarifications are posted I can answer them.
  As far as my experience with CCNA goes, it needs hardwork, immense amount of practise.
  My study schedule started in jan 2011 and I gave my exam in sep 2011.
  Cisco press books ( by Wendell Odom) are the best. Read them, understand them and take your own time to test each and every concept mentioned in the book. No stress, no hurry ,its not like do or die, so unless your ready , it doesnot make sense to read dumps and pass out in a month.
  There are lab softwares to practise, like Packet tracer (only for academy students ) or GNS3. use them to test your concepts.Don't do it for sake of doing, I know people in my team who are CCNPs but have zero confidence on their concepts
  
  CCNA can be pursued in 2 path way or 1 way path.
  2 way path - ICDN1 and ICND2
  1way path- CCNA composite
  the exam fees is the smae - 250$ either ways..
  Finally, book an exam date, that will keep you on track
  
  If I were to do CCIE, I will do it after 3-4 yrs of my ccna and real world experience. I would do my CCNP R&S, in couple of years and then prep for CCIE. Rushing through immense syllabi wont help us.But everyone has their own way of doing, so its more of personal choices.

  First of all let me apologize, I am a newbie out here so I didn't know about you "who is durga???? will there be any divine intervention in this thread?" I take back my word.
  Neat explanation!

  CBT Nuggets Cisco CCNA Certification Package(Videos) by Jeremy Cioara
  and last but not the least FREE YouTube videos by Keith Barker
  
  Elders say "Don't give advice if you were not asked for" I just broke the rule.....my bad!

  vedios by Keith Barker are just amazing, CBT nuggets are good too.. but I bought INE vedios, Jeremy takes on casually while Brain does it in a classroom format. and compared to CBT nuggets , INE vdos are cheaper :-s.
  
  I dont know how good Tod lammle book is, I have though heard many using them. But I will go with Wendell Odom, he authors books so well.
  
  Dont worry about divine intervention. it wont happen unless you work hard 😀

  #-Link-Snipped-# Yes you are right! INE videos are cheap. Although I bought CBT nuggets in a group, still had to shell out good amount of money. I like Jeremy coz he is not boring and prevents you from sleeping 😴
  I have read Wendell Odom's book also, yeah he is good.
  And you are right AGAIN......CCNA is not an easy exam, it takes a lot of reading,listening,labbing,night-outs n repetition.
  
  #-Link-Snipped-# Pardon me but you made a tiny mistake!!!!>>>>>>>> not "VEDIOS it's VIDEOS"
  As, you are one of the moderators, please don't kick me out for figuring out this. I just couldn't help myself 😁

  I am studying Tod lammle book ... It is a good book for theoretical knowledge. Will try to watch the videos by Keith Barker. Hope I will finish my preparation within two months 😒 .
