Advantages: certified
Disadvantages: heavy
The CCNA changed earlier this year and I notice some minor fatcs that are ermm wrong in craigtaylor's opinion's....
I'm not aware of the Network Academy as I studied for my CCNA through LearningIT...
The pass mark is actually 85 % give or take 1%...not 70 %....possibly Network Academy specify this for inhouse tests but Cisco do not!
The actual exam is taken online via either prometric or VUE which costs about £90...
As I said the exam changed recently, it used to be 65 questions and was quite straight forward...
Nowadays the Exam also consists of a performance related section on a Cisco router/switch whereby the screen represents an actual screen display from a switch and asks you to type commands etc instead of multiple choice type answers.
The exam is now 45 questions which are slightly harder and make sure that the candidate has knowledge in the technology instead of being able to read a book and pass or by using a braindump site...making the exam harder for the less experienced..
The subject matter is roughly the same.
The Cisco website gives a better insite into the exam as well as a demonstration of the performance related terminal emulation.
The certification expires after 3 years and if you score over 92 % you may advance to teach CCNA after other courses...
Hope this helps and is more up to date and that Mr Taylor is not too upset at my update which I felt would better arm potential candidates with the modern exam....

- 14/04/02 Your data is correct as I sat the exam only last week. I did not think you commented negatively on Craig's op which was greater as was more indepth, I do agree that duplication is an issue and well done however I feel rob the writers views could be constructive and not as threatening. After all like me you joined recently and I'm sure we all err sometimes? Wonder if rob drives too fast at times? |

- 14/04/02 Rob, Why thanks awfully for your comment, how great it is for you to spend time writing it after Craig and I sorted out the op, in that as I said and reiterate yet again here : IT WAS NOT A CORRECTION, IT WAS MY OPINION OF THE NEW EXAM WHICH WAS NOT COVERED, some good stuff was and hence I brought the piece into view so as to avoid duplication....Thanks again RW!!!!

- 14/04/02 You cant do this, sorry, but commenting on other peoples ops in your op isnt on. You seem to have sorted it out so I wont ask to have the opinion locked, but it is one of the Dooyooo rules! |
