NetMasterClass
I’m using Netmasterclass self-paced study. NMC have learning materials they call LEARNiT, CIERSWB, DOiT II, Graded Labs, CHECKiT, Tech Library, Written, RoadMap. I reserved 10 graded labs (mock lab) to work on. I have not started any on these as of writing.
At first, I found it awkward in using NMC due to their “fancy” terminologies, but I’m getting use to it.
Their LearnIT Module has VODS for Frame-Relay, IPV6, Link-Layer Connectivity, IGP, BGP, Cat Qos.
I like the way they present these VOD’s because they chopped it to a 10-20 minutes chunks of vital information, also the presentations are focus to the subject matter. Btw, I wonder why their BGP module is still incomplete, I need to email NMC on this.
I like much the Frame-Relay VOD, it is very well presented, still half way to go on these VODs. IPV6 have dynamips scenario, I am able to simulate the subject at hand.
Trying to eat this elephant of CCIE studies in chunks… using “horizontal approach” I can concentrate per topic basis. I do not proceed to the next topic until I feel very comfortable to each subject matter.
I dont like much some interface like the Drill-It because its not a real router telnet but on a mere webbased access to a recorded router, but I think I can get used to it. Overall NMC works fine for me, but I still have some ? in mind about their PORTAL.
Overall, NMC’s approach is very digestible to a student CCIE Pilot like me, their teachings and approach is very practical and attainable.
It is now a matter of time on my flyt to CCIE.
