[bizzzy]

ok im thinking about going to a boot camp for my CCNA

its 5 days, 3100$, like 10-12hrs each day

anyone been to one?
or heard anything about them?

do you think this is a better choice than self study or persay a class?

One of my friends took it and she said it was really good.

IMO the boot camps are only good if you have a good working knowledge of networking, devices, subnetting, and the OSI model; or at least study on your own for a few weeks/months

and get a good grasp on Cisco and networking concepts - otherwise you are much better off in a slower paced program thats lasts at least a few months (mine was 8 months, 2 nights a week, and it costed me $2,500)

I took a 5 dayCisco ICND boot camp course (interconnecting cisco network devices) with almost no knowledge of networking and i didn't benefit that much from it cause it went so damn fast and i dint have the prerequisites (but it was free through my work so I went anyway) -

Middlesex county college in the edison/woodbridge area

they have a mon/wed class or you can do a tues/thurs: its from 6:30pm to 10pm 2 nights a week, about 6-8 months long i think, but very slow paced you'll def know your ccna inside and out and its one of the cheapest programs around of that length, small class size too which helps

the instructor is good peeps too - I think they have an open house around now, cause i started my classes last year at this time, go check it out

Lemme know if you go, I'm cool with the instructor, I'll make sure he looks out for you
