Look, my answer is somewhat biased as I am an instructor, but I recommend you go to a real school. CD Roms don;t answer questions A real live instructor does.
For me, the only way is true instructor-led.
This being said, make sure to carefuly chose your school. Ask to sit in a class for a but, to meet the instructor, etc.. any good school will have no problem with those requests as they have nothing to hide.
Enjoy!

If you are going to spend money on an instructor led course, make sure they give you a list of hands on labs they will cover using live routers and switches.

You could easily pass the ccna exam using a sim, so if you are going to have an instructor led course then the following labs should be covered on the course:

IP routing
VLANS
Basic IOS commands
ISDN
FRAME RELAY
PPP WITH CHAP AND PAP

and troubleshooting skills

Hi

If you want to go the Cisco Way (CCNA,CCNP) and so on the choice is if you are going to pay all this of your own pocket ?

But there are several ways to go.

I myself has bought a Sybex CCNP testlab it is quite good further more I am reading the best book made for the CCNA Wendell Odem CCNA book. And then I have made my own test from most of all testsoftware I have found.

U can try to download my 20 questions from.

My Test tool is made in such a way that you will learn something of cisco while testing..

Best Regards
Uffe Sommerlund

PS. I will keep up the job and later there will also be questions for the CCNP,CCDA
and so on.

If you would like more info
