Undecided? Get Started and Defer Your Choice
The only dilemma: Buy study tools now for ICND1 only, or for CCNA?
The Big Issue: When to Buy Products
- Content-wise, CCNA = ICND1 + ICND2
- Cisco Press CCNA R&S products often include:
- An ICND1 Product
- An ICND2 Product
- AÂ CCNA Product
- A CCNA Product is Equal to the Combined ICND1 and ICND2 Products
- A CCNA product costs less than the Combined ICND1 and ICND2 products
Purchase Comparison:
Decide to Stop at CCENT
- $30: Buy only the ICND1 Cert Guide, but nothing left to buy
- $45: Buy the CCNA Cert Library up front, spent $15 too much
Purchase Comparison:
Decide to Also Get CCNA
- $60: Buy the ICND1 Cert Guide, later buy the ICND2 Cert Guide
- $45: Buy the CCNA Cert Library up front, saved $15
Examples use typical US retail prices: $30 each for ICND1 and ICND2 Cert Guides, $45 for CCNA Cert Library.
