  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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. 🙂

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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 YouTube?Thanks

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!
