Hello everyone, I am pretty new at this. I am currently working on the CCENT ICND1 Certification. I have Todd's book and of course am viewing the videos but I feel somewhat lost as in the order in which I need to view the videos. Especially since Todd has the accelerated CCENT videos so I wanted to see if I could get some feedback as to what should I do in the right order. I also have seen some labs and look pretty cool, I really want to get this certification to start off and I am just using Todd's new book and the ITProTV. I just want to know if there is a recommended way to study this so I have more structure and a correct sequence to study in.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Solved ICND1 Order for Study
-
Having [recorded this show] with with Todd on this series, he has put the show in the orders he expects people to view them. He understands some will skip videos but if you choose not to skip them, he recorded them in the order with earlier topics needing to be understood before the later topics can be addressed.
Cordially,

hi Ronnie, I'm also studying for the icnd1, how will I be able to combine the labs with the videos, should I finish the whole videos and lammle's book before starting the lab? or should I do them in chapters? I'm a bit confused as to go about it. thanks

Todd Lammle recorded the series as he intended them to be viewed. Each episode building upon another. This is his order that he believes will give the viewer the most benefit.
If you're already familiar with the networking basics. My suggestion, personally, is also begin with the easiest topics to review do 2 or 3 of them, then tackle a topic that is challenging. Spending the majority of time on the challenging topics.
If you're not familiar with networking basics, I suggest you take a look at same topics covered at the Microsoft MTA on Networking and CompTIA Network+ to put a more familiar grounding if you have time. To condense the focus you may want to take a look at the CCENT show that Don Pezet and I covered at a more relaxed pace.

apologies for taking much of your time. first of thanks for your quick response. My question is the practice labs are not organised according to the video by lammle, so I don't know if I need to watch all the videos before start practicing the lab. is there any manual for the lab which I can correspond to the video so that I will know exactly what I'm covering in the video and the practice lab. I have done CompTIA network + exam so I have a bit of knowledge in networking, nothing more. thanks very much.

for instance, looking at the end of the videos, it doesn't say if u need to use the practice lab to practice what you have learnt, I'm a bit confused as to when I need to start practicing, or at what point should I start using the lab. thanks again.
-
note by, the videos I'm reffering to is the one done by you and Don Pezet.

If you have the CompTIA Network+ concepts down pat, then you'll just have to focus on the Cisco terminology and methodology for working through configuration and solutions quickly (approx. a minute per question). If you are guessing at answers rather than knowing, you'll be on the verge of failing. If you cannot subnet without writing it out, then you'll not be able to get by the time restraints. If you cannot identify a misconfiguration quickly you'll not able to pass the exam.

@Ade-James,
Your best bet is to be in the lab on a daily basis reviewing way to configure connectivity as quickly as possible and being able to configure requirements as quickly as possible.You want to make sure you do any of the configurations in lab guide by after looking at the objective without needing to rely on the step by steps presented.
If you're watching the CCENT show and CCNA show, you'll want to understand and configure what Don is demonstrating. The key is understanding it and then configuring it.
With Cisco, it's not enough to just know the material, you must know it and configure it quickly as if it's routine for you to do so. It's not designed to be a subject you study for an exam and then forget, you'll spend many hours configuring routers and switches and network theory before the exam.
