    Thank you, Michael! My wife definitely held it down for our family. There are a lot of great groups on some of the social media platforms. Facebook has some really good ones where people are willing to help, the issue for new learners will be the amount of noise you have to sift through. I will start to think of a way to form a good study group with minimal noise.

    It can be very hard at times. Stick with the hard work and you’ll be happy when you pass. Not so hard to renew your CCNP and other certs through continuing education. The hard part is getting the certificate in the first place.

    Thank you, Nick! Vik is a great instructor who really cares about his candidates. Be sure to email him you are having any issues or if you’re finding it hard to understand certain things. He always made time. Just understand that he is busy making content, delivering boot camps, and helping several students. I say that to let you know it is best to not wait until the last minute to contact him.

    Some people say the CCIE is the CCNP all in one exam. I definitely benefited from why I learned on the CCNP. I asked a friend who recently got his CCNP Collab and he said he would read the respective OCG, take the exam, then used the SRNDs to fill in the gaps. I actually feel that the SRND along with labbing is some of the best learning. And it’s free (aside from building the lab).
