Hi, thank you so much for this video; it’s really insightful. Please how long did it take you to study for the exam and also what software did you practice your labs with? I can’t download packet tracer or GNS3. Also, please did you read the CCNA COURSE vol 1 and 2 or just the materials you used? Finally, is there a way to contact you outside of UA-cam? I want to write the exam and I really do need help with understanding certain things as I’m self studying and new to IT/networking. Thank you
Thank you, happy you found it useful. It took me 5 months to prepare for the exam. Preparation time will vary for everyone depending on your already existing IT/Networking knowledge. I made use of the CISCO packet tracer, it's a lightweight software and works on most PCs. GNS3 is a bit heavy and may slow down your PC. For your study, I would advise you to make use of David Bombal's CCNA course on Udemy. It's like the best course for someone new to networking and certification exams. The link to the course is in the video description). You can reach me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/uche-ogbonna-b255a01a5. I will also send you some materials and resources. The CCNA is a fairly easy exam if you study well enough. Sure you'll ace it with no stress😉.
Congratulations. Already have David Bombal's Udemy course. Did you use the OCG textbooks for your studies as well? And, how long did it take you to study?
No, I didn't use any textbook to study. I made use of David Bombals Udemy's course and Jeremy's IT Labs. It took me about 5 months of intensive study to get ready for the exam.
Do not get why people call the CCNA an entry level. It is not! An entry level would be the Network+. The CCNA requires you learn and understand the basic of networking + how packets are routed through network using routing protocols like OSPF and EGRP, and learning Cisco CLI commands. If you consider the CCNA an entry level, then you are basically selling out your engineering skills.
Well, at the end of the day, the CCNA only requires you to learn and understand basic networking concepts, albeit at a much wider scope as compared to other entry-level certifications. This could be good or bad depending on how you view it. So yeah, it's still an entry-level certification since you're only learning the fundamentals needed to work at an entry-level IT job in the current tech labour market.
I'm taking mine this coming Friday. So I just wanted to ask if your test results are delivered instantly meaning the moment you click submit. Thanks for your tips btw. I also watched Jeremy's series and then took another course on Udemy by Neil Anderson.
Good luck with your exam! Your test result should be displayed on your screen immediately you click 'end exam' but for some reason, I was logged out of the system after I clicked it. Either way, you should get an email from Pearson Vue directing you to a site where you can also see your results. These are great courses. I would also advise you to make use of Boson software so you can have an idea of what the actual exam looks like.

@@uche_david_ogbonna thank you very much. I will reach out to you as soon as possible.
Worthwhile!
Hello Uche, Where ca I get CCNA Questions and Answers?
You can use examtopics.com
congrats on passing the exam. I want to ask how many question for the cli part?
Thank you, Edward!
I think I had 3 CLI questions, Majorly based on EtherChannels and routing.
Which testing center did you use in Nigeria

@@uche_david_ogbonna Thanks that was inspiring. Congrats again

Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Did you got questions asking to configure ? or like list of configuration commands steps choice question bro?
I got questions that required me to interact with the CLI, That is: I made actual configurations during the course of the exam.
@@uche_david_ogbonna Understood , thank you brother😇

That is because it is entry level to work in networking.
Exactly!!
