Cisco ENCOR e-learning training vs CBT Nuggets

[ggomes63]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 9 to 5 network administrator (3 years) and I'm planning on going for the ENCOR exam by the end of this year. To prepare myself I chose almost all the material I think I will need with the exception for the complement to Cisco OCG.

So I'm thinking of using Cisco OCG premium online edition (63$), Boson ExSim (100$), and Cisco DevNet Sandbox. I have one doubt as which complement to use for my study.

On one hand CBT Nuggets, a very well-known and suggested tool (subscription-based), on the other Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) e-learning (180 days). For this one, I can have a discount of 750$, the final price would be around 530$ (still pricy).

How do these two compare? Is Cisco worth taking into account the discount and the CE credits? Should I save my money, use the CBT and use the 750 voucher for other courses?

Thanks for the support!

you should go to CLN, https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/discussions  browse thru CCNP discussion forum to see if u can find some recommendations;  there is also more info about resources under your  CCNP Cert tab.   I would use Cisco OCG book either with CBT videos or with ENCOR e-learning 180-days course.

Best of luck! 

Regards, ML

Training is based on preference and teaching style, do some research and see what people have been choosing and weight that perhaps in your decision accordingly to your desire.
