CCNA Video Training - 4 Reasons Why Training Videos Are An Excellent Idea
Monday, August 10th, 2009If you want to have a highly interactive CCNA training experience, the usual way is to go for an expensive class at the Cisco academy or using a Cisco authorized training partner. These days, it is also possible to purchase CCNA video training courses to be put on your portable media devices like the iPod or the iPhone. You’ll now be able to put the whole course on your device and study at any time and any place at your convenience. Here are 4 reasons why you should use CCNA training videos:
1. Study where you want - Most of the training videos are compatible with a large variety of devices and allow you to play back the videos anytime. If you take public transportation, you can study for the difficult CCNA test during your trip. Whenever you have a small pocket of time free, you can just whip out your media device and study. There are no classroom schedules and no books to carry around, just a light device that you can use anytime.
2. Increased understanding - Compared to studying from a book, videos are able to illustrate many difficult concepts much better by showing you on screen instead of just reading static pictures. This has become increasingly important due to the practical nature of the CCNA and other Cisco exams which require you to point and click as well as type in command line commands.
3. Increased retention - Compared to a classroom-based CCNA class, CCNA video training can be repeated as often as possible for maximum retention. There are always more difficult concepts and harder to remember points in the CCNA test for everybody. Having the convenience of being able to repeat the class as often as you want, when you want it is truly a great feature of using CCNA video training.
4. Qualified instructors - The instructors who create these CCNA video classes are just as qualified as those who write the CCNA books. Most of them are CCIE certified as you can be certain they are technically accurate. Compare this to many of the live classes which might not have such qualified instructors due to resource constraints, or simply because CCIEs are too expensive to hire.
