Student Feedback
-"I think this course is great, I've been studying for the ICND2 using skillsoft but this course explains some thing different which has been easier for me to grasp"
-"So far I find this to be well explained and cuts down a lot from the book into what you really need to know for the exam and is saving me time. He really knows his stuff for this course and would recommend his to anyone"

I have been addicted to networking ever since the first time I heard about the CCNA certification. I remember hearing everyone say how big of a deal it was, which made me want it more than anything. I was climbing towers for a living at the time in sub zero temperatures. All I could think about was how getting my CCNA certification could be a way to a better opportunity. I told myself that one day I would be CCNA certified. After a lot of studying and time in the lab.....I passed! Now I am a Systems Engineer and all I do is networking. Every time I pass a cell tower I think about how much the CCNA has changed my life and I am grateful.
I decided to become a CCNA instructor during my path to the CCNA certification. While I tried different courses with terrible instructors...I thought about how I wished I could teach students a better way. Now with Udemy, I can.

I've configured some Cisco networks before, so this is already pretty familiar, but the instructor is pretty good in explaining it all and showing the steps and covering the terminal commands and the GUI interactions.

It's been a while since I've configured a network and I'm configuring a Cisco/Juniper network right now. This course helped me brush up on some knowledge as well as cover new info. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone doing their CCNA Prep.

The course is good. It would be nice to have lab guides to go along with for each topic. There are also some commands that don't work in packet tracer, would be nice if this was explained and give the alternative options.

Kind of good. Moves a little fast in the VOIP section because it's not familar. I consider this course to be a good supplement if you are using other more complete study resources. Having taken the CCNA exam a few times, I can say with absolute certainty, that I would never have passed by using this course alone. This is a helpful, concise presentation. And for the price, it's worth going through. But you will need more to survive in the test chair.

My goal was to gain enough information from this course to pass the ICND2 exam so that I can get the full CCNA certification. Sure enough that was the case with this course.

The courses were very detailed and helpful for real world use. The instructor broke it down with great explanation. It made me understand Cisco devices much more clearer and their uses.

Before I took this course, I had failed the icnd2 3 times!!!! Wow!, what a help this has been! By following allong with Matt in the labs, working my own lab, I was able to get smoothly familiar with the configurations. Matt ihas a straight forward , simple approach to trouble-shooting and replicating this process was a HUGE benefit on exam day. So, after this course AND Matt's Packet Tracer course, as well as a Todd Lammle guide, I am now a proud CCNA. The creator is very knowledgeable and thorough and even reached out on numerous occasions to help me through tough challenges.

It great, I learnt alot and practice. I think it would be awesome if you were using packet tracer as most people are relying on packet tracer for practice.
By Tony D'Agostino on 1/28/2017
Easy to understand the explanations and going into the switches to show the commands and configuration are really helpful. It helps to have done the reading/review of the topics prior to going through this course as it moves quickly and having the understanding makes the course very helpful to reinforcing what you've learned.
By Andreas Apostolou on 10/19/2016
This course could be perfect. Some videos are very good, some others laking a little bit of more explanation. I found this course very efficient, it gets straight into the point of ICND2 (v3) exams curriculum. I think that the trainer must revise some videos in order to perfect the course, the course though is enough to learn about everything that the ICND2 (v3) requires. Thank you, Andrew.
