Andrew Crouthamel
Andrew Crouthamel raised money through a Kick Start campaign to create a free CCNA video course. It is complete and available on Youtube. You can purchase the videos for offline use for only $25. There are 84 Videos in total and it covers more than what is needed to pass the exam. One video covers the history of the Internet for example. I highly recommend this course, especially for those new to networking.
Free CCNA Workbook
The name of the website is Free CCNA Workbook. The workbook is online and is actually a list of modules with a series of labs in each module. There are no videos. It is well organized and you can scroll through the list an read just the material you need to know. The labs covering the configuration of switches and routers has screen shots of the actual equipment. If you go through these labs two or three times you should be ready for the practical part of the test. This website helped me a lot when I was studying for my CCNA. This author had to put a lot of time into this training and you should take advantage of the fact that it is free.
Charles Sturt University Free CCNA course.
Charles Sturt University Offers many short courses in IT to introduce you to their online learning program. The CCNA course covers a lot of material for an introductory course. It also has a test at the end to see how well you are retaining the information. I highly recommend this course. It is on demand and self paced.
CCNA Online Training Website
This website is located in the UK. It offers four training modules for the CCNA training and certification. It looks to me like these modules are directly from the Cisco Network Academy. Very high quality graphics but no audio. I don’t like reading the computer screen but you might give it a shot.
Omnisecu Website Cisco CCNA Training
This website has CCNA training as well as other IT classes. The CCNA training is very current. It consists of numbered lessons that are text with very well done graphics with no audio. I highly recommend taking a look at this one.
NWKing.org CCNA Training Videos
This is a Youtube channel that has fourteen videos designed to be watched over fourteen days. This guy put a lot of work into these videos and the fact that he is doing it for free is truly amazing. Over a millionn people have watched them. That says something.
Computernetworkingnotes.com
The page is titled CCNA Study Guide but it is actually a bunch of individual tutorials covering most the topics covered on the test. Some of them consist of step by step labs that help you understand the technology. It covers other computer topics in the website but the Cisco CCNA material I think is the best. This is a quick way to learn the topic without listening to long drawn out lectures.
Additional Training
Dan’s CCNA Video Clasess
Dan’s courses are free on YouTube. He is a college instructor and is a very good teacher. The videos are mostly featuring Packet Tracer labs. You need to watch other videos for the CCNA theory. He is mostly teaching you how to program the routers and switches so you can pass the practical part of the Cisco exams. Find yourself a copy of Packet Tracer and follow along with the labs and you should be ready for the CCENT and CCNA test.
