Thanks brother! The most realistic time line for taking an exam for being a busy person, but it is possible. Thanks for the motivation and making this video!
Of course man!! Go crush it!
I just took the CCNA exam this morning and passed! Congratulations man, such a great feeling huh?
Dude! Congratulations!🥳
@@ZeroDegreeTech appreciate it man!
How hard was the exam? I'm currrently studying for it
@@colinrhee98 It was harder than I expected. I studied hard for it, and it paid off, though. At some point, you will feel like you may be failing. But keep on going and trust you know what you are testing for.
You got this. I recommend labing and getting as much hands-on experience as you can. This allows you to understand the concepts and know how to do them yourself.
@@adambauer2597 yeh couldn't agree more. Doing lots of labs really helps to solidify the knowledge and after a while it all becomes second nature. I am currently re-doing my CCNA (did it 10 years ago) and the fact that I really took the time to learn it properly the first time means that even though I haven't used it in years, it is very easy to jump back into it. I looked at some subnetting exercises for the first time in long time recently and could instantly work them out. I can still subnet in my head lol. I can still get OSPF up and running in no time. Repetition is key to the CCNA!
good to know people are still learning ccna, let`s continue
Mate. Nicely done to be honest. You mentioned rtfm and docs. You are well on your way. Godspeed young man!
Thank you!!
This is a very impressive achievement! No previous related experience, working 3 jobs, and starting with the book. The only things I would've done differently is I would've first watched a video training to get a good understanding of the topics (first Practical Networking's video series about network fundamentals, then Neil Anderson's course (Flackbox): his labs are especially superb), because the book can be very dry if that's what you start with, but I love that it's so detailed, so I would've filled in the details using the book. I would've also went to bed immediately after going home from work and studied first thing in the morning. Or is that what you did when you mentioned you started almost 2 hours early at work? Thank you very much for this video, and again, congratulations on your achievement! There are many people who never even get the CCNA.
Thank you for the kind words and that definitely could have helped when going through the book!
Scheduled my CCNA for March 10th 2025. I have the official online study course through Cisco, and I’ve also been watching Jeremy’s IT Lab (the best UA-cam resource I’ve come across). Fingers crossed!
Good luck man!! You got this 💯
He mate, anything changes in terms of exam method for 2025? Or it’s same as last year??
You’re killing it. Keep up the hard work🎉
Thank you!!
Nice video, crazy to think you were working three jobs and still had energy to study. Great job!
Thank you! I am actually still working 3 jobs! I should make a vid of my updated schedule soon…
How many hours a week are you really working?
Between 60-80 hours per week (depending on car details and what I am scheduled at the restaurant I work at, then I have 40 from my main job in tech)
@@ZeroDegreeTech I don't believe you. How long did you sleep each night?
4-5 hours, I have 1-2 nights a week where I can catch up on sleep
Youre going to acheive what ever you want with that work ethic.
Good Job, I have also passed my Specialist CLCOR 350-801 Collaboration Core while working as a Systems Engineer
Good job man! Watched the whole video
Thank you!
Congratulations! Well done!
Thank you!
Congratulations!!!
I bought both books and the simulation extremely great material. I’m taking my exam in Dec.
You will crush it!! Good luck!
@@ZeroDegreeTech thank you for the encouragement ❤️
Did you crush it?
@@gibson7654 I haven’t taken it yet . I’m planning on scheduling for February.
Good job am also on the way it encourages me
You got this!
Great video and useful information, thanks!
Of course!
Learn and have fun learning it
Great video. Great job. This is awesome.
Thank you very much!
Honestly, l love this video and the motivation. I have the cert guide vol 1&2, cisco ccna in 60 days, ip subnetting from zero to guru, 101Labs, 101Labs ip subnetting and portable command guide but can't study them. Thanks for the motivation, even though you work at three different places.
Sounds like a solid set of material!
Congrats I didn't pass on my first try. Where can I find those books? And I am watching Jermey's IT Lab as well. Did you read those book in their entirety?
They can be found on Amazon, and yep, I read them both all the way through!
@@ZeroDegreeTech were they expensive?
Not at all! They where well below 100 dollars for both
I'm in similar situation as a fulltime worker so just want to say that your video really motivates me. Since you went through both Jeremy's IT Lab and Odom's books, do you think it is fine to skip the books and just watch the Jeremy's videos?
It might be ok, but I would definitely nail down the videos super well if you chose to skip the books
Good deal Tyler and congratulations on CCNA. Get the bag!
Yessir!!
Thank you!
@@ZeroDegreeTech Welcome :)
Great vid. what is next for you? Did you get a job in Networking?
Not yet! I am hoping to go straight into cloud or security
@greeTech fwiw its really good to work that operations network type job for at least a yr or two, reason? because the day to day grind you learn a lot that isnt in these books like non-reporting problems or dealing with optical issues, prioritizing changes over projects, there just no replacing that kind of hands on experience, gltu!
I ended up becoming a cloud ops engineer! There is a vid I posted recently about it!
HI, great video. Please, inform where can I get free practice exams for CCNA from Cisco. Thank you for providing a link.
I am not sure where free ones exist but I know Jermey’s IT lab has some great practice labs!
I'm doing my CCNA this month.
Good luck!!
Thanks did u take it yet?@@ZeroDegreeTech
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching it!
afternoon folks, has anyone recently done the CCNA 200-301 exam? re Types of questions, some said they removed simlet, some don't which one is true
They are likely removed going off my experience taking it on 3/25. Some say they are still there, I am not 100% sure
hi buddy, can you give me the link to the site you mentioned at 6:56? Greetings from Turkiye!
Sure! www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/ip-addressing-services/218383-use-ip-nat-command-for-configuration.html
@@ZeroDegreeTech when i will pass ccna i come and celebrate with you :))
Wow❤ you are so great! Thanks God! ❤😊 What do you advice to us who also wants to passed the CCNA exam while have works?
Create a habit for studying! It helps remove the friction of picking up the material every day, I very highly recommend listening to Atomic Habits by James Clear for tips on how to do this!
congrats man ! which one was better Boson or Cisco for exam practice ?
and do are you planning to go further and get CCNP ?
Personally I think Boson was better but the Cisco tests where awesome as well! I do not plan on going for my CCNP until I finish the cloud practitioner and security+, even then I might change my mind and get a different cert. We will have to see!
Great work!
Thank you!
how long did it takes all in all from the 1st day you starting styding ccna?
If I recall correctly, I think it took around 6 months.
@@ZeroDegreeTech nice, hopefully I pass the exam also
Also what are the name of the practice exams
Did I forget to say the name in the vid?
On the exam, was there a LAB too? or just multiple choice questions? like it is on Boson Exsim?
Personally I did not encounter labs but I have heard that people still get them so I am not sure if they have been removed or not
@@ZeroDegreeTech ok . thanks for replay
yes there are ospf sim labs.....need to be strong in labing OSPF
hi bro loved your content .. i am from india .. also i am prepairing for ccna.
You got this!
Good luck Pritam!
@@alittax thank you bro 💌
Hi, how did you practice for your labs? Did u buy boson as well?
I did the boson and Pearson labs a ton
Hi, Congrats on passing the CCNA exam! Can I know on what topic was the simulation questions they asked in the exam? Was it too difficult?
I would highly recommend being familiar with implementing network ACLs, ospf and spanning tree. Ospf especially. In my experience, I had lots of ospf questions but I can not guarantee your experience will be the same. Good luck! Keep my posted on how it goes!
Thankss alot really helpful one
Thank you!
Hi can u tell me the difference between NetSim and ExSim from Boson?
Network is the lab software and Exsim is the practice exams!
Got any book recommaditions to read? Or websites to study?
Atomic habits is my good book in general recommendation and for the CCNA, Wendell Odoms vol1 and 2 of the CCNA exam guide where great!
Was the Pearson CCNA network simulator helpful?
Yes! I thought it was very helpful. It really helped solidify the knowledge by forcing me to apply it!
Hey, that is so amazing and impressive!! Like having to work 3 jobs and also study... and here I don't even gain consistency or study hard enough having nothing else to do except staying at home :(
And OMG, I'm literally studying with Jeremy's IT Lab, he's amazing, although I'm taking all the notes, because right now, that's my only material!
But I'll try these books or Netsim, too!
Thank you! I have found that turning studying into a habit makes it easier to be consistent. Listen to Atomic Habits by James Clear for tips on building habits! (Specifically the chapter about just showing up)
How haven't I watched this video!?
It’s a very small channel 😆
Lol
After 12th which diploma i have to do to get a good job
A diploma is not needed (I do not have one)! It is worth exploring alternatives before going to college. Out of the available degrees, computer science is a solid choice.
What did u do with ur ccna once you got it
I made a whole video on it!
@@ZeroDegreeTech
I ment job or career wise...?
Do you have any references for vlan training ?
professor messer is great for basics and Jeremy’s IT lab is great for a little more depth!
in which social media i can talk with you ? i have some question dear ❤
LinkedIn works
hi bro is ccna worth it in 2023 ? after doing a ug diploma in canada
I would say so! It definitely won’t hurt, it also shows that you have the work ethic required to pass an exam like that!
Also got an exam dump which is the real questions from the test. They will help.
Not a fan of using dumps
@0° Tech not as an only resource I agree. I have one but blend it in with the labs and training course.
I just mean as a whole, they feel kind of slimy to me. Test answers aren’t supposed to be available online are they?
@0° Tech look I also agree. So what's boson then? I've used dumps to blend them in with my studies and they worked for me. I study my ass off believe me. Been doing it 5 months and my exam is scheduled for next month. They charge for them too. They aren't free.
Boson isn’t dumps , none of the questions are exactly the same as the test. I honestly thought they where pretty different
and here i am... no job... struggling like the damn idiot i am, oof
You can’t get down on yourself man, keep your head up and and keep working towards your dream! Getting down on yourself is like shooting yourself in the leg before a marathon. You got this!
You've got this, Duppy!
hey, haha, same here, but no worries, we got this!
I do now actually have a job as a cyber security consultant hah! definitely stick at it!@@syedyousafbukhari2213
Jeremy IT lab videos are way too long for me. It is obnoxious.
Yeah, maybe go use some exam dumps instead....
maybe you're an arrogant cry baby.@@jordano69
boring content
Thank you!!
welcome to networking, we do this for the boredom
