Course Description

This course will compliment my "Cisco CCNA (200-120): The Complete Course".

This "Cisco CCNA Labs" course is the most complete practice labs for the CCNA (200-120) R/S certification exam.

However, for those interested in taking the CCENT, ICND1 and ICND2; this course will also prepare you for those certifications as well.

This course is over 10+ hours long and it is a complete Hands-On lab course.

In this course we will cover all the labs required to prepare you to practice and make sure you are prepared to tackle the simulation part of the CCNA certification exam.

Be aware that the simulations for the CCNA R/S certification exam are extremely important and crucial to pass the certification and you will be prepared and able to configure routers and switches by the time you finish this course.

This course is designed for the student to follow along with me as I explain the labs and the configurations.

My “Cisco CCNA Labs” course is the gateway to your success!

This course will enable you to overcome the barriers of the simulation part of the exam and give you the confidence needed to pass.

Remember that the CCNA certification exam is timed!

This course will make sure you can breeze through the configurations and simulations so you can have time to spare for other parts of the exam.

Also, please keep in mind, that when taking your cert, more than likely, you will have one or more simulations that have several parts to it...meaning, one question can be comprised of 2 or more parts, and all parts MUST be answered in order for you to get credit for that question.

Not answering one or more parts to any question will result in failing that question!!!

We definitely can't have that!

The difference between passing and failing may be just 1 point!

This is precisely why it is extremely important that you look at each question carefully and answer ALL parts of that question. Doing this will guarantee your success...and that's precisely why I am here...to make sure you have the tools to succeed!

As with all my courses, I prepare them carefully and specifically to ensure that you can pass the CCNA certification exam and join the IT and/or Networking professions with this most important title...”Cisco Certified Network Associate”

Welcome to the CLUB!

2016 will be the year to reach your goal! If you are determined, ambitious and hungry for a new beginning...then 2016 should be your year. ...and how better to start the year than to get your CCNA! Whether you are interested in the CCNA R/S, the CCNA Wireless or just want to understand the key topics of these certification exams, taking one or all of my courses, will get you a little closer to that goal. But, don't take my word for it...please take a look at the FREE previews (they are available in all my courses) and see for yourself. As for me, 2016 will be the year of putting out new courses for different types of IT certifications among other things What you wanted to know about me: If you are tired of the same old methods of learning and want someone that is pretty much unconventional, but at the same time will provide you with an enjoyable learning experience in layman's terms...then please preview my courses and you will discover that I am your guy. I am a Network Engineer with over 14+ years in the field and in the teaching industry. I hold the following certifications: CCNA, CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, Security+, Network+, A+, MCP, MCTS & MOS and I just passed the first of two test for the CCIE! My teaching experience stems from teaching at institutions like Palm Beach Community College, New Horizons, Florida Career College (now Anthem College) and The Academy of South Florida, not to mention teaching at my own training facility in Miami, Florida. Having been in all sides of the spectrum; as a student, a teacher/trainer, and in the field, I believe this uniquely qualifies me to understand the student, and what they have been exposed to as opposed to what they really want to accomplish. These two are sometimes extremely conflicting and frustrating. That is why I teach in the manner I do and can relate to the student's rejection of the Status Quo. I have taught corporate employees at MetroPCS (now T-Mobil) and have also taught IT professionals of companies like The Florida Marlins, Hospital personnel & Attorney's firms amongst others to be able to acquire their CCNA certification and/or their Microsoft certifications; like the MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist). YES!...I am also an applications instructor and also teach Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. I teach in an unconventional way that allows for students to understand the subject matter and can therefore, not only prepare them for a Cisco and/or Microsoft certification exam, but apply my methods in the real world. I strive to give the student a greater opportunity to compete in the current job markets. Do I go above and beyond what is needed for a certification?...YES, I do!...because it's not only about getting a certification, it's also about making sure the student is prepared for a job interview and/or maintaining their current job by enhancing their skills. This is where I step in and make sure that the student is prepared for whatever they need and make them an asset to their employer. Everyone has different requirements and I make sure, or at least I try, to provide information for most scenarios. My classes and/or courses are very simple and that's how I like to teach. If things are kept simple, easy and explained in a way that the student can grasp quickly and retain the information...then I have achieved my goal! For those that do not know me yet, you may not be used to my style of teaching, but you will soon get accustomed to it :)... I'm very laid back, I try to make learning fun and I teach in layman's terms...no physics jargon or mumbo jumbo in my teachings. My courses are very interactive and extremely dynamic!...you will not find my lectures monotone or boring, because falling asleep, for lack of excitement, is just NOT an option. Just take a look for yourself at my video previews, which I always provide on ALL my courses, so you can determine if I'm the right guy to help you get your industry specific certifications. ;) I certainly hope that after a careful review of my credentials & testimonials (you can Google it you know!), I'm the Cisco & Microsoft Instructor you're looking for!
