    How much is the certification after?

    • neil on 12/04/2012 - 23:48

      You'll have to sit a certification exam at an authorized Cisco center. Try Prometric. It's somewhere between $200-$300. I think you can claim this on taxes as a self education expense.

        Disclaimer: I'm not a tax agent
        You can only claim it as self-education if it is nexus to your current employment. That is, if you were already employed as a network engineer. If you are working in an unrelated field or unemployed, then it cannot be claimed.

    So this is a specific CCNA for their Voice gear? What does the industry think of this, as opposed to a full CCNA?

    FYI:

    The CCNA Voice class is an ultimate all-in-one solution for engineers pursuing the Cisco Certified Network Associate Voice (CCNA Voice) certification. This Video-on-Demand course includes over 25 hours of instructor-led content that will fully prepare you for the latest Cisco 640-461 ICOMM v8 certification exam. Please note that per Cisco CCNA Voice certification requirements, you need to have already met the pre-requisite of having a valid regular CCNA (Routing & Switching) status. View this course on your desktop computer, iPhone®, iPad® or other .mov video file format compatible devices.

      Guess that answers my question, thanks!

    • pumpkinspice on 13/04/2012 - 09:29

      "you need to have already met the pre-requisite"
      damn, one of those, I prefer the pre-requisites that you don't have to have already met :P

      • IVI on 19/04/2012 - 20:49

        So, wait for the Cisco training videos to make it to Khan Academy & you'll be able to catch-up yourself… Free!

        (My dream, not yet Sal Khan's plan, AFAIK)

  • lonewolf on 13/04/2012 - 07:00

    So in other words pointless for people who dont have the CCNA already?

  • mini2 on 13/04/2012 - 07:21

    It's actually the CCNA R&S course not CCIE.

    • gif on 13/04/2012 - 07:31

      Yeah just clicked that link and no Ccie stuff there…

      • neil on 13/04/2012 - 07:47
        +2

        Yeah, sorry. I think I got it confused with something else. Both are CCNA, have edited description and title.

        For the person who asked about career options:

        The way I look at these courses personally are that it's a good knowledge to know if you are into networking. As for a certification path, as stated by others it's best to get the general CCNA certification. You can study for it the OzBargainer way, borrow books from library, download ebooks from the Internet, study up and sit the certification. After that you can focus on individual parts like what this deal is on. I'm not sure if CCNA equals big bucks but being certified would certainty help with networking type jobs. IMO, the key to IT and well any career path is specifying in knowing/doing things that not many people can do. There are loads of people out there who just do general IT work. There is a smaller number who can do CCNA and once you focus on say Voice/Video/Routing, there is an even smaller number. Cisco isn't going away anytime soon and the huge amount of money spent on the NBN should equate to more work here for networking people. Another way, is look at Seek.com.au, search ccna and find out what interests you and study up on what you need to apply for that job.

        My 2 cents. I may be wrong as I don't have a CCNA (yet!).

        • Telios on 13/04/2012 - 13:09

          Sorry just to clarify.
          CCNA != Big bucks.
          It is the entry level certification for Cisco products, it does not mean you will earn $80k walking into a job.

          For anything involving routing tables/ACL's/protocol level you really want a minimum of CCNP (or the equivalent now).
          While you do cover these topics in CCNA, I wouldn't entrust a dev environment and certainly not a production environment to it.

          lol

          if people dont know what != is

          they will think you said

          CCNA = big bucks

          hehehe

        • mini2 on 18/04/2012 - 20:10

          LOL $80k for entry level IT helldesk role kinda deal, probably a BMW convertible on the side? Reminds me of Excom.

        • IVI on 19/04/2012 - 20:52

          So, learn all you ever wanted to know about this stuff & more…
          then start your own consulting firm & make a lot of $$$

          There are those who CAN & those who have paper certificates.

          The former are not limited to what's in the certificate exams. :-)

    I don't understand I signed up but how do I access the content?

    • neil on 13/04/2012 - 08:33

      Make sure you are logged in and you can see the links on the bottom left of the dashboard. Or follow step 5 in the description and click on those links.

  • BuyoTheCat on 13/04/2012 - 09:23

    the streaming is free but the download is not?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/04/2012 - 09:29

      Yeah I think so. But you should be able to capture the stream using a program. I'm not sure about the legality of that so I wouldn't do it, especially considering this is a commercial grade course run by networking and security specialists. I'm sure you could do it and it probably wouldn't be illegal but that wouldn't stop them getting upset about it.

      • Mikinoz on 13/04/2012 - 15:41

        It doesnt mean the site is created or maintained by any of the above, there is almost no chance of anyone even noticing it is being copied from the stream

      • IVI on 19/04/2012 - 20:53

        RealPlayer -doesn't- seem to grab it (ie, like it -does- for non-downloadable YouTube videos, TED talks, etc.)

    Apparently they have all the worlds best Cisco trainers

    Mark Snow CCIEx2
    Brian McGahan CCIEx3
    Brian Dennis CCIEx5

    You want to do the CCNA stuff before you do the VOIP. To do CCNA you can do a test for $345 at prometric or you can split it up into two tests for $175 each. ICND1 & ICND2 will get you CCNA and less expensive if you stuff up. Completing ICND1 will get you the CCENT certification.

    To practice on networking, you can download cisco's packet tracer program which is pretty good or you can use GNS3 with DYNAMIPS which emulates the routers, not just simulates them. For GNS3 I would recommend downloading REDNECTORs VM build of it which is by far the easiest way to get GNS3 running.

  • allyemil on 13/04/2012 - 13:06

    Useless for me personally as i do not meet the pre-requisite of having a valid regular CCNA (Routing & Switching) status, but +ive from me for sharing.

    • dustim on 13/04/2012 - 18:06

      CCNA (Routing & Switching) is the second free course. So you should start with CCNA (Routing & Switching)and then continue with CCNA Voice.

  • ABA on 13/04/2012 - 15:38

    It says "Access our new CCNA Voice Bootcamp free for a limited time".
    Does it mean we won't be able to access the streaming video after few days?

    • zeckem on 13/04/2012 - 23:21

      I was wondering this too, so now I'm downloading them :)

      • koolstik on 14/04/2012 - 08:26

        What are you using to download them or did you purchase the download?

        • zeckem on 15/04/2012 - 01:20
          +2

          nah to purchase it cost big dollars. the method i'm using is rather tedious, you need to open each video and download separately. I don't think i'm allowed to mention the software here so PM me and i'll point you in the right direction.

  • sam91 on 17/04/2012 - 16:03

    can anyone tell us how to download these videos?

    • IVI on 19/04/2012 - 20:57

      …or how to PM OzB-members for off-line Q's, of any kind…?

  • martian_rob on 20/04/2012 - 11:36

    So it is now 20th April - I registered with INE and still siad the course was free but when I added the course the my cart it wanted $199 !! Looks like deal is over , thanks for posting anyway :-(
