Certified Cisco Network Administrator, CCNA Part 1 - LCC101 Reviews

It is just a lot of stuff to remember, a lot of details.

It's harder for me to learn if I'm not there in person with the instructor. Thanks to Larry, I feel more confident in continuing my quest for the CCNA!!

The instructor was amazing.

hard to pin down the need to know stuff for the test b/c of all the material covered, 8 hr course a day turns most brains to mush by the end of the day then you need to do more labs and review? its a tough load for anyone who is holding down a job and has any family commitments. ou can only retain so much info in a few days.

It was little too difficult for me to understand the lecture.

Pros: Boson Netsim was an excellent choice. The content was relative and the pace was steady. Teacher had a very easy to follow cadence. Overall a solid course. Teacher was responsive to questions and quite thorough as well. Cons: I felt the labs could've been done outside of class and we could've spent more time doing live examples or going further into some topics. The class would benefit from more elicitation as well.

Learning all of this information is already a lot. There was some extra info which is nice as a 'deep dive' but I think is unnecessary for the majority of students who are already struggling with some of the more basic concepts. For example, on the last day of this course there was info on how to calculate the metric of each hop count and what a NSSA area is and how that is important. These seemed extremely advanced topics for a more advanced class such as CCNP, but I would have rather spent more time on more relevant information. The instructor did a good job of walking us through some of the more dense information, which needs to be explained in very simple terms so students can recall it on the exam. I would like to see more explanations of the outputs of the commands broken down, as in the beginning cisco commands can spit out a lot of information and students could be confused if the information they were looking for was not there because they ran the wrong command or from the wrong mode. A quick tour of the command line interface, especially in the NetSim application on day 1 would go a long way.

The pace wasn't nearly as cut-throat as Sec+.

Too short to digest all of the information.

based on the other courses i have taken at aci I hope that when i take the time to go through all the labs and materials I will have a better understanding of the material
