I'm taking anbintro to networking class for the ccent

First day on like this is some bullshyt:stopitslime:

Teacher is wasting time talking to students about dumb side computer bullshyt

tests are online and I figure I'll be doing most most of the studying myself

I'm going to just go and order a ccent/CCNA study book I saw on Amazon and finish the class so I can get a job connect

How long should it take me to study to pass the CCNA?

Depends on your own aptitude and training habits.
IMHO
Probably 2 months to learn the theoretical side. 1 month of hands on simulator digging.
IMHO.
Thats what it took for me when I first got my CCNA, the old version, 640-801days

OK

Took me about 6 months, but it can be easily done in less time. If I were you, I would dedicate at least 2 months for the ICND1 and 2 months for the ICND2. I used the Todd Lammle book, but the version I have is now out of date since since the exam objectives were just recently refreshed.
