Certified Cisco Network Administrator, CCNA Part 2 - LCC201 Reviews

The course should be much longer to allow for more detail

The class objectives get covered at a very rapid pace. The instructor is the best at communicating concepts, ideas, examples and ready to give a heads up to important material and pitfalls along the way. The material is a lot and coming at you fast, so retention is not as high as I would like. Brad gives you the necessary skills and knowledge to get you going and with practicing labs and reading the book you should end up with your CCNA cert.

Mac users could not participate in any of the labs. Students have not money in order to buy windows computers. For the price if computers were issued it would have been better. The class ended at 11pm. IF you work a regular 9 to 5 and have to drive an hour from work to home you literally have no study time.This should be a month course with HANDS ONso students can actually learn the objectives. You listen to lectures for 2 weeks and hope and pray to God you maintained enough information to even pass the 25 question assessment at the end. I have known people in the IT world who could not pass the certification on the first try and we are expected to do it after 2 weeks. Counselors should be assigned to each student to call them after a week of completion to check on the student and see if they need assistance.

Enjoyed the class

Ton of info in a short time. Good content. A little bit scattered at times.

Wish this course was at least a week longer and geared towards individuals with very minimal and basic understanding of IT concepts

My only concern is the volume of material and the time it takes to cover it all. Larry was a great instructor and was well prepared and timely to the minute, every day. I won't fully know how well Larry has prepared me until I attempt the exam. I feel very hopeful at this point though.

The labs stated lab times example 10 minutes but we all knew that the lab time were for at least a student not realistic to read, perform, understand in the time window, so the example 10 minute resulted in at least 20-30 minutes of actual cost. Boson Software did have minor issues where labs were not recorded/check boxed when complete.
