Amazing David sir. This channel will be growing soon by this type of content😊

[majiddehbi]

Yes, David I add my voice to your , by saying CCNA Has been a major step in my life and for my it happen right this years and I m 57 years old Godd bles you david and i hope all the Best for Cisco

[sankets]

Cisco changed every network engineer’s life in this entire planet 😊

[helpdesk_to_networkengineer]

This is fantastic content. It’s easy to keep up to date with changes because of your channel

[smog]

Great quick video. Still sad to see that no one is addressing the fact that most managers list CCNA or CCNP on the job requirements but have no understanding of what it contains anymore. Cisco is doing a awfully poor job with marketing the updated content.

Thank you David for bringing clarity that the CCNA isn’t changing from the best people in the know from Cisco live. Excellent interview and information thanks😊

[MattSaunders]

Really nice one David. It's really great to be seeing you at Cisco Live, and happy to be working more closely with you now!!

I went to the website ya'll mentioned in the other video just to see the free course. Then I started looking for other courses I might be interested in. 4800/6000 dollars?? Wild.

[ourdazakaria]

Getting my A+ this year, 2024 going to get my CCNA! Lets go!!

[bigcitybsix]

Am among the first to comment... I have been in the networking field for 3 years but I decided to take my ccna I pray it helps me to the next level

[ltnlabs]

I really think they need to bring labs to every cert exam and move further away from multiple choice centric. Imagine an OSCP (or even ejpt) like exam but its networking but way before ccie. You could do this virtually with the ccna and im talking beyond simlets. It could have linux and windows vms with grader scripts that check to make sure test takers properly configured and fixed issues. This would better prepare people for the field.

thanks a lot david with a lot respect

Cisco U - How many portals do we have now? 6? 7? Cisco should consider making a training of all the portals and different places they have as this is becoming really confusing :) Hopefully one day it all gets integrated in Cisco U. It will be more pleasant and just better for everone. Right now there is a lot of authentication... each portal supossed to work with SSO, but sometimes it just not - random logouts, access errors plus TONS of dead pages with links still out there.

3:00 I felt pain behind that "oh yeah"? As like "without me"? 😅

[Zetharion]

The thing about the CCST is its too new so the industry doesnt have a value on it yet that I can see. Not a single job posting that I can find even mentions it.

[krazytaz]

Aww man I was at Cisco live and saw you at a distance. I nerded out and wanted to get a pic but was in a session and when I got out my session I didn’t see you.

[khayes]

Don't get me wrong, there's some good free stuff on Cisco U, but access to the *Certification Courses* costs $LOL money, especially the professional level ones. I much prefer just buying the individual courses as the yearly all access pass through Cisco U just isn't worth it for me (I don't have that much spare time to study multiple Cisco courses a year). Doing a mixture of cloud certs and Cisco certs is my preference. That is cloud certs through the actual cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP etc.).
