Hi,I have used both books for passing BSCI. I find CCNP Self Study by Catherine and Diane is a better book then the Certification guide. The self study series give more lenghty, sufficient explanations and more examples. Thus, it is much easier to understand, especially for someone who have limited experience in routing. The certification guide series are much difficult to understand and with limited examples and explanations.Go to  and look under "Which book is right for me?" for explanation between the 2 different series.

I totally agree with GuanI sat the BSCI course last week with GlobalKnowledge in the UK, yet to take the exam but what I can most categorically state is that the Cisco BSCI Course is nothing but the book by Catherineand Diane. Know this book,  know the course content  know the content for the examGood luckSteve
