CCNA Q&A: Two Exams ICND1 And ICND2 Or Single CCNA Exam?

I’m planning to write a CCNA exam. Would you please suggest me which one is better shall I give two exams ICND1 and ICND2 or single CCNA exam. Also could you please let me what is main difference between those single and two exams.  ———— 22karthikreddy

There is no “difference” really.  It just depends on how much you want to study and how much you want to be tested on at one point in time versus another.  if you take the single exam route you will be responsible for everything.  if you take the 2 exam route you can break down what you need to study per exam.  I personally liked the two exam route because I could concentrate on certain technologies at a time to make the testing easier.  It really depends on what your personal preference is.  if you don’t mind studying more go for the single exam.  it also depends on your current knowledge and experience.  if you have been in networking a while it might just be easier to go the single exam.  it’s all up to you!  —————-  Rickey

Can Anyone Suggest A Good CCNA Boot Camp For Mark?

Can anyone suggest a good CCNA Boot Camp in and around the San Jose, CA area? I am looking for on-site/classroom based instruction.

I’m currently working as a Help Desk technician and I found out about new opening in my IT dept (promotion) which requires a CCNA. I have a limited time (2-3 months) to get certified before the dept. starts interviewing so I am looking for a Boot Camp that I could get rapidly trained and certified. I want to take the 640-802 combined exam.  I have the Wendell Odom / Cisco Press books, but now I don’t think that I’ll have enough time to go the “self-study” route for the CCNA…

Any recommendations will be appreciated. Also, can you all let me know what the average pricing I should expect to pay for a “boot camp”?  (I’ve seen prices anywhere from ~$2800-3500.)  I am eager to get trained but don’t want to pay more than needed .  ———– Cheers,  Mark
