Since I’m between jobs now and competition for IT helpdesk still fierce now, I’m closing to 10 interviews but no luck so far, only by having 3 year experience and no A+ cert, that’s why I decided to move forward beyond helpdesk/it technician CBTNuggets.com<\/a> is a very good resource for IT certification training. I have 2 help desk associates that have achieved their CCENT cert using their website.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2018-02-27T12:16:46.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/best-cisco-training/637126/6","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"curtismerriman4326","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/curtismerriman4326"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" Check out ine.com<\/a> covers CCNA to CCIE and others as well.<\/p>\n They offer rack rentals as well where you can enter commands on live equipment in a lab environment as well.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2018-02-27T22:37:07.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/best-cisco-training/637126/7","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pgeric","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/pgeric"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" I have been using Career Academy<\/a> for last few years as it’s been only $99<\/p>\n @Cisco<\/a><\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2018-03-01T20:11:13.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/best-cisco-training/637126/8","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"troberts2","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/troberts2"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" Granted this has been answered, but I have used the following and I am very pleased with all three services.<\/p>\n Pluralsight - I have been personally using this site for years and I love the service for the cost.<\/p>\n CBT - I liked CBT but it was more than Pluralsight so I did away with the subscription.
