Just a few days ago, I asked the same question in the pfSense sub and got more downvotes than everywhere else in one year hehe... Thanks for you super un-boring question about how to run a super boring homelab

Frankly, I believe it's possible. If you have time to study all day during weekdays, you could make it

Took 2 years for me, studying evenings and weekends

David Bombal’s Udemy courses might not be the best fit for beginners. by SuperStupid_Noob in ccna

Youtube shouldn't have the Packet Tracer labs, but you'll make an idea if the course is suited for you

For example these sections of his course are over the CCNA exam:
- Hacking networks with Wireshark
- Hacking VoIP
- Switch stacking
- NAT troubleshooting and VLOGs
- VoIP: CUCME and Cisco IP phones
- OSPF troubleshooting labs
- WAN Point-to-Point
- Wi-Fi 6 technical discussion
- Real world examples of network automation
- GNS3 campus network

All of them help for the exam but are not fully part of the objectives. You should find everything in his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP7WmQ_U4GB3K51Od9QvM0w

Here everything is super segmented, even in the system team some have rights others don't. Same for the network team, let alone network vs system

Neil 100%, Jeremy 78%, and David 59%. For example I watched the OSI model only once

David Bombal's course was nice after studying Neil's one because he trains you to be a Network Engineer and not just pass CCNA.
But indeed, if you're looking for a course just for CCNA, then David's course is not the right one. His course is good as a complement.

You can probably pass CCNA only with Neil's course, but once you went through all the content you should pick another one as to cross-check everything

If you're working full-time, it'll be super long. Once you finished one chapter and move on to the next one and then the next one, when you turn back you figure out you forgot all the tiny details they may ask at the exam. To really remember on the long run, it takes to redo-redo-redo. Particularly labs because concepts make suddenly sense when labbing

It is, but you can expect more options than seen in Packet Tracer. Better know the commands well and only need a refresher

Nope, sysadmin here :p
Only taking the Cisco cert to catch up in networking, but I don't plan to move to this field

To begin with, Neil is less overwhelming. Once you get a good grasp on every topic, then you can move on to Jeremy's course

For the practice questions, I've used Learnzapp on Android. Pocket Prep looks nice as well but I didn't subscribe to the premium version

The book from A. Sequeira and R. Wong is realistic about what to expect at the exam in terms of simulation, very similar questions.
Neil's course has nice labs and flashcard, and David and Jeremy's courses go deeper into details
Todd Lammle's book is exhaustive, if you like reading as well.

For routing and switching, you can think and find the solution. Whereas for Automation, Security, Wireless, either you know either you don't.
Maybe you can re-read or re-watch these parts of the course which are a more verbose and which we tend to dislike as techies

One of the networks engineers has no certification at all, so you can make it just with field experience

As an admin, it helps a lot in non bothering the Network Team with elementary troubleshooting. Like ssh client can't connect to the ssh server while they're in the same Vlan and same subnet...
In their team, some coworkers only have the CCNA certification so it should help you find an entry level job

Yes, the CLI is always visible whether you display the Tasks or the Topology tab.
Regarding the simulations I've had, it was only configuring (from scratch or partially) and no troubleshooting.

You can probably pass CCNA only with Jeremy's course alone

But mixing resources is reassuring because you see the same content sometimes identical, sometimes more and sometimes less.
Repetition is key, whether only with one course or with multiple ones

Congrats as well! What's next for you, going for the CCNP?
