New CCENT/CCNA show?

---

Hi there,

I see in your calendar new CCENT/CCNA shows starting next week May 18. I started with this cert about a month ago and now going back and forth between my reading material and the existing videos. Are the new videos going to replace the existing ones? or are just adding to them?

@Abdulkarim-AlZahrani ,

The CCENT/CCNA exams are being updated! So we've invited Mr. Todd Lammle, the Cisco Guru cover the content for the new exam coverage. If you're already preparing the for the current iteration, This content will replace the current content when the exam changes are announced. The current content has help other members achieve success for both CCENT and CCNA R+S. I would make a suggestion to continue with that series.

The current content will be moved to the legacy content.

Thank you for being a member!

Thanks Ronnie, more questions if you don't mind.

so no more 100-101 ICND1 & ICND2 200-101?

How about the premium labs? will they be useful with the new exams?

Finally, do you recommend to continue with the current or wait for the new exam ?

@Abdulkarim-AlZahrani,

I would recommend that you continue with our current objectives now. The content is solid and proven content that has helped our members get ready for the exam. Even though they're retiring the current exam it will probably be months before it retires or even at the end of the year. You could be done with your study and certified by the time you're part way through learning the new materials. The good thing is now there are plenty of extra materials out there to study for the current iteration of the exam. While, if you choose to go with the newer exam, you may do so but at the dearth of additional study materials since books generally hit the market after the exam's official release date.

Every 3 years or so, exam vendors tend to update. This is just the time for it. If you take the current iteration it will be valid for 3 years regardless of when the new exam happens.

p.s. Any time you can get practice on equipment to get accurate and faster...the better it will be for you. Our premium labs give you access to real equipment for the whole year for a low price. So to me it's worth it.

Thanks appreciate your help

So, I was about halfway finished with the new CCENT 2016 webisodes (with Ronnie and Todd Lammle), and don't see them on the site any longer.

Am I overlooking them??? Were they moved from the Cisco section to another section???

Good thing I downloaded them over the weekend and can finish them anyway.

@Tom-Matthews,

They are getting moved to a new section for now. After review of the course itself, we decided that pace and amount of material covered in the allotted time was more suited toward a "boot-camp" style show itself. So we're combining it and it will be listed as CCNA-X, I believe, once everything is up.

Everything that Todd covered, is great material and presented for quick digestion and hard points for the exam but we realized that for someone's first foray into the realm of CISCO, perhaps a little fast and maybe too much to absorb for the person who is just starting as an entry level technician. The subnetting section by Todd is phenomenal, if you know how to subnet and what it does. It's overwhelming if you're trying to wrap your head around the concept and to do not quickly if you've never really done it before.

@Ronnie-Wong In my opinion that was a very good decision made by ITPRO.TV, I personally did feel when I was watching the live show of the updated CCENT that it felt more like a "Boot Camp" style show. Definitely great material from Mr. Todd Lammle, he sure knows his stuff, but was too quick for me to really understand.

So I went back to the CCENT 100-101 show where you and Mr. Don explained everything more in my pace.

BTW first month here at ITPRO.TV and loving the videos.

@John-Croes,

We've also got on our schedule, I believe toward the end of June where Don and I will be reshooting our CCENT and CCNA R+S for the new objectives. This will be done more along the lines of the way we previously did our shows.

The great thing is that Todd Lammle said pretty much there's not been too much of a change for the CCENT but the percentages have changes and a couple of things they have made a little easier but the time demands from the exam are still stringent!
