CCNA - Books or Classes, what's best?
What's the general concensus for the best way to tackle a CCNA?
I intend taking classes, they have all the lab facilities and I'll get several evenings tuition a week for about 9 months, but it'll cost nearly £1500 ($2500?)
Is this sensible? Am I better just buying the books and spending the money on a second-hand lab setup?
Classes sound good as far as keeping me disciplined right through to the exams, but if 95% of people just buy books, and tend to pass, then I'm a bit unsure about laying down all this money.
As a relative newbie to networking the classes may well be a good grounding for me, but would I be able to progress to further qualifications using books/boot camps? The costs for further classes after CCNA frighten me.
Any views gratefully received, especially from anyone who considered a long period of classes a good idea.
