I just got my job as a Network associate without CCNA yet. I'm planning to get one and good thing I'm already working in production scale. EPIC UPDATE!

CCNA is a good base but only Cisco is "excited" they are updating this exam.

many thanks Dave, keep educating us, very excited new stuff

I'm actually in a Jr. Admin posistion trying to get my CCNA 😂 I should honestly try to get it before they update it 😅

Can you all go back to the two test CCNA? It made perfect sense to get the CCST in the first half and CCNA when you pass the second half. It makes studying easier.

1:48 : Interesting... Exam change similar to CompTIA, but only in minor changes.... 🤔 Thank you David for the video!

Why not just make a seperate cert, why do you keep cramming more and more into the ccna? That doesnt help anyone.

considering the changes, my opinion is that this moves from Cisco is just to "surf" in the hype of the AI

Well about 3rd way through Neil Anderson's Udemy course and have a few flavors of digital books from Humble Bundle. Glad to know its going to be a free expansion and we can keep our current 200-301 study materials. Glad I found ya Mr. Bombal cause no one has mentioned this from at least the other sources I watch/listen to

I’m getting certified for the first time this year and I’ve been doing this job a long time. I’m going the Devnet route

Thank you for the update!!

Thank you Mr Bombal for these infos

Great resourceful and informative video, I'm currently learning Linux and plan to learn networking as my next materials to sturdy. Massive thanks David.

thanks for the talk. informative

Very interesting video as always, thank you David. And also thank you for posting the Tutorial links below.

Cisco need to start pricing their exams according to geographical location like LPI and Microsoft and other vendors do.

So only the changes to CCNA are on Cisco U free the rest is $800. sigh. Cisco are falling behind other vendors. Microsoft/AWS exams are from $99-$150. Why so expensive ?

Thanks Dave for always updating is with new innovation. What is the lowest cisco device like the router and switch one can use for a physical practice. Can we still use the 2960 switch, 1800 series router to study? Thank you.

Great content, it's July I'm trying to find the new tutorials

Thank you

Hey David, Are you aware if there will be any updates to the CCNP Security SESA? If you have any additional Cisco guests it would be interesting to hear what they have to say. Thank you.

@DavidBombalTech , this is a great interview , thank you

Hi David, do you know when will be the deadline for buying the current exam version?

Hello David, can we have a video in which you explain maybe the differences between old and new exam topics changed, and most importantly, what tutorials on cisco U cover these new topics in the v1.1 exam, and thanks

Awesome

Thank you ❤

These changes are certainly known by many network engineers without CCNA, just a hype from Cisco.

Yor are good teacher i hope i will succeed

So Divid are you updating your ccna complete guide course on Udemy to align the new changes made in the ccna exam topics. If so hope u will let us know. I am half-way on that course.

2024 Ccna is worth to do

David, will you cover the new material for the new ccna update exam after August 20, 2024?

I can see adding Cloud... but AI?

at first thanks for your service~ When exactly will the changes take effect? ​​For reference, my exam is on September 1st.

Hey David, I have you CCNA course on Udemy, Although I know the changes are not much, should I expect any update on that one for the new CCNA in August? Just curious. Thank you. :) Btw, your course is awesome and complete! I'm blessed to have you as instructor. :)

Can you talk more about DevNet cert!

If one passes CCNA before the update - then the update happens - is the their certification still valid?

hi i am from maldives i am planning taking the exam on mid of july ?

cant they just make a new certificate?

were do I find the free certificate?

Can anyone help me with a link to network engineers communities or groups.I’m new to this field and I’d love to stay updated.Thanks

Hi David...is the actual certificate still 200-301 or are they updating it to a new code. Also are you just going to add to your current content on KZfaq?Thanks

I had a question in my mind 😔 i want to know THE cyber security is good for women or difficult for them 🤔 !!!?? coz women are more busy than men

Thalaivar is coming

Would the older version still be available after 8/20?

❤

Hello @davidBombalTech, you have great new content, I am just starting my path into cyber security and would find it very valuable with so many new changes the path you recommend for new people to follow. I see a lot of movement towards cloud and API and AI, but its a bit messy in my head. IF you could make a new 2024 path and maybe speak about what would you do to break into CyberSecurity. I come from a Sales and Coding back ground FYI. Thank you so much for all the great videos.

New ways to ripoff the poor people.

you should come up with free exams

cool

This looks promising David! Thanks for keeping us up to date. But i have some legitimate questions around CCNA & CCNP. I really want to take those exams even the OSCP looks so appealing, but there are 2 main problems. 1 Money. 2. Uncertainty. I really want to start in a company but the IT market has double standards. On one side they beg people because they cannot find anyone & have a shortage and on the other hand it is nearly impossible for me to find a job in this space!! Why? I still did not manage to get a degree. Because if i want to even get a chance i need a impossible standard that they ask as a resume examples : Master/Bacholor degree, + CCNP, OSCP, CEH.... And i start to believe they are bias in picking employees based on a collage (in Belgium) It is insane and i also predicted to a government employee they will get hacked because they're hiring process is mediocre and the database is a April fools joke. Fun fact 2 weeks later it was on the news. And somehow they did not even bother to call me & tell me okay maybe i know someone to give you work.

can anyone give me the link for FREE CCNA training? it keeps displaying I have to pay USD$800

Soo take the ccna before August 20th... got it. 😂

When will it update?

Why CCNA is so expensive in comparison to other certification

why does he keep saying ccna engineer does ccna give you a network engineer level ??

800$ for training you basically give for free is wild!

Not many use the CLI anymore. All GUI based and no need.

I'm transitioning from Cisco to Juniper after 13yrs of being a Sr. Network Engineer. Why add new topics if newer individuals don't have the work experience expecially AI? The CCNA is no longer a entry level cert, which is crazy, when I took it years ago before getting my CCNP. Cisco is falling behind other vendors quite fast and it's sad.

David what happened to your channel?

Funny how the switching and routing exam all the sudden became scripting, wireless, AI and everything else. Go back to the original format and stop cramming all this crap on us!

Just update next year ffs

I'm in Ghana. Is the exam free??

when cisco calls something "free" be ready to spend a couple grand on it.

CCNA is not a starter cert

Dear Cisco, Please stop cramming sudo relevant topics into your base exams. You are quickly diluting the value of these exams by making anyone who gets them slightly aware of these technologies but a master of none. Not every Network Administrator or Engineer jobs is going to even need you to be aware of DNAC, SDWAN, AI, ect. On the flip side all Administrator and Engineering jobs will require an absolute solid foundational knowledge of core routing and switching and the ability to troubleshoot these foundations. For the love of god put these into your specialty tracks and go back to the roots of CCNA and CCNP core EXAMS being designed to give people the foundational knowledge they need to then branch into these other specialties.

It's incredibly stupid that these certs can't be sent to a PO box. WHY NOT?? Cisco needs to get off its high horse. It's not like they're a government department or something, issuing liscences.

I don't like AI. I use Google Bard daily and follow AI news but its hype is way bigger than its potential. Personally I would completely exclude any AI content from a network certificate. AI is a new discipline and it already has its own dedicated Bachelor's study departments in many universities. I have a BSc in electronics & communications engineering and I have some idea about neural networks and no I don't want to get involved with any of that maths. No. That's why I decided to focus on network engineering. I think instead of AI adding content about mobile networks and antennas would add much more value to the certificate. I would also offer two different certificates for on-premises and cloud network engineering. If there were as many resources as CCNA has on the web I would much rather get Nokia's network certificate than Cisco's. I don't like where Cisco chose to be heading with its CCNA.

This is buzz word salad 😂

very informative. thanks . and also i have send you a connection request on likedin accept it
