CCENT / ICND1 Labs - 7 Days till your Cisco 100-105 Exam (Udemy.com)
Labs that you can practice at home with full list of commands, network diagrams, and tasks. A review before the exam.

Our take
Based on the ratings of 191 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a lab-only review built for the final week before the old CCENT ICND1 100-105 exam. Marious Kuriata walks through seven large labs in about 3.4 hours, and each one mixes topics, such as routing with subnetting or switching with security. The description is blunt: no theory, and Cisco discontinued the exam in February 2021. The last update was also in 2021, so treat it as a legacy course. It is a refresher, not a first teacher.
Reviewers like the format. One calls the labs quick and to the point, and another says the downloadable ebook of commands, tasks and topologies makes the labs easy to rebuild at home. Students describe Kuriata as realistic, easy to follow and quick to answer questions. The complaints are mild but real. One reviewer wanted a better accent and more communication, another found it hard to understand, and a three-star review says the course assumes too much and lacks a clear mission. Two students hit lab snags: a router that would not ping in Packet Tracer, and a switch that was not layer 3.
With 191 ratings averaging 4.3, it holds up as a short drill for people who already studied. One reviewer notes it does not cover every CCNA lab, and the exam it targets no longer exists. Anyone starting from zero, or aiming at the current CCNA, should pick a course built for today's blueprint. For the same topics in lab form, it still works as practice.
Pros
- Seven labs that each mix topics, like routing with subnetting or switching with security
- Downloadable ebook with every command, task and topology so labs can be rebuilt at home
- Quick, to-the-point walkthroughs in about 3.4 hours, suited to a last-week review
- Reviewers say the instructor answers student questions seriously
Cons
- Built for the CCENT 100-105 exam, which Cisco retired in February 2021
- Assumes the basics and skips theory, so it is a poor first pass at networking
- Some found the accent hard to follow, and two students hit snags in Packet Tracer or with a non-layer-3 switch
Labs are great. Quick and to the point. Instructor is realistic and easy to follow.
Labeled beginner, but the instructor assumes the basics are already covered, so it suits post-study review.

I purchased this course a couple of weeks prior to taking my 100-105 exam and found the skills used in the labs to be highly relevant in the actual exam. I strongly believe this course was a major asset in enabling me to pass the exam!
